Yes sometimes I use my FT-1000D on AM, if you set it right
it sounds pritty good, I would rate it as a pritty good
ricebox on AM, however it doesn´t give me any good feelings
like the DX-100 does.

Mike,
You're not alone in using a ricebox for AM. A fair amount of us do. I
save my Viking II for 160 & 75m. On 40 & above, I use a 30 year old
Yaesu FT-301SD, which does about 30W of carrier (I run it at 25, to keep
the finals happy). I usually have pretty decent results with the '301
on high band AM. My only complaint about high band AM, is that with the
exception of 10m during the Sporadic E season, I don't hear much AM on
the other bands, I've called occasionally on 20m, and at times till I
was blue in the face on 40m, with no luck. The only AMer I ever hear in
any amount on 40m, is Ashtabula Bill, W8VYZ.

Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Low Power AM?
I've had several complete and quite enjoyable 20 meter AM contacts
running
only my TS570, which is my only functioning AM rig at present.
Granted, most of the other stations were running full power, or at
least a
Viking II power level.
But, if you can get into a qso on 20 with a reasonably good signal, it
works
well at low power as long as the frequency is clear.
However, as was mentioned here recently, it's been months since I heard
anyone on AM on 14.286, or anywhere else on 20 meters.
