I did forget that but you are correct. another
interesting thing about ssb which includes both sidebands is that
it was first tried during the 1930's as a concept and had to wait
until after World War II before amateur radio operators, the
millitary and commercial folks began using it routinely. To not
stray too far from the group purpose, the usb dongles that give
you a wide coverage receiver from 26 to almost 1000 MHZ use
basically math to decode sideband, AM, FM and data using DSP
techniques.
