I certainly hope that AMers dont operate down in the DX window. Its bad
enough now fighting the 5-20KW US stations with my 1200W.
A little respect often works well.

This perpetration of AM-SSB bashing has had a long running history of at
least 40 years. Let's face it, this discussion has run its course and
now it is time to end this "discussion" and move on - that is to those
frequencies that all of us petitioned for below 3750 Khz.
I heard Don, K4KYV, calling CQ below 3700 Khz the other day, and no one
came back to him. I was too busy to call Don but what a lovely signal he
had.
More of us should follow Don down to this open range rather than cozy up
to SSB operation throughout 75 meters. This is particularly true of some
AMers who just love to irritate or harrass folks on 3892 Khz.

I think most of the anti-AM attitude is just the lowest common denominator
speaking.
To them Slop-bucket is the "standard" voice mode on HF.
So it follows that anything else is evil.
Some years ago I had a discussion with one of the locals who exhibits
this
thinking.
His reasoning (like most of them) was that AM occupies too much
bandwidth.
And of course we need to conserve spectrum.
So AM should be outlawed.
I countered by saying that on 2 meter CB there's not enough room for all
the
FM repeaters.
Since ACSB occupies such little bandwidth you could put at least four
repeaters of that mode in
the same spectrum of one NBFM signal.
So they should out outlaw FM on 2 meters and everyone switch to ACSB.
(tongue firmly implanted in cheek)
His eloquent, well thought out response?
"But EVERYONE uses FM!"
