Hi Steve, I am not 100% sure about the dates cited, but where was the heresy? The 9 dB power advantage of SSB over AM, and the 50% reduction in occupied bandwidth when using SSB, are indisputable (at least from my perspective).
Germany had a working public SSB radio-telephone link between New York and Berlin as far back as 1931. http://www.ab4oj.com/1st/gurtel.html#ssb Cheers for now, 73, Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of bosshardss Sent: 19-Dec-09 07:10 To: [email protected] Subject: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Dec 2009 QST p 50 See Gary Pearce' ID880H Product Review - plus some heresy about switching from AM to squawky (1950 equivalent of R2D2) SSB. 73 nu5d
