Interesting thought. "...is AM cheaper than SSB?.. Let's see, I have some ssb equipment that I paid a considerable amount for. However, if I were to tally up the odds and ends, parts and pieces I have for AM I would say , "no", AM is not by any means cheaper or less expensive than ssb. One table top transceiver and one legal limit amplifier can cover the entire amateur spectrum, but it would take a room full of "real radios" to do the same thing and that ain't cheap! The way I see it, this is a great hobby and when we stop treating it as such and become concerned with the cost of things then we are spending too much money on it. I personally spend what I can afford and that's not much. If I had gazillions I would spend much more on my "hobby" and on other things that matter. It's all relative. I don't think a comparison between the richest man I the world and a poor old stiff like me is quite fair. Kind of like comparing apples to cow dung!
Whew... That was a mouthful... No offense intended to anyone, these are just my personal thoughts.
