We are glad to tell about why we love AM so much! Well, it is just a WHOLE LOT of enjoyment running AM, listening to those dulcet tones of AM on the other end. It is far more relaxing to listen to than the hyped up pumping sounds of the typical distorted duck-cuacking SSB signal. Not that some of us do not also enjoy using SSB and other modes from time to time. The fidelity is generally far better and the background noise often gets blanked nicely by the carrier. Much easier on the ears and the soul! You just have to experience AM for yourself. It is not "going back" when you use "Advanced Modulation." 73 - Brian, AF4K Larry writes from - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Please excuse the 'aparent' ignorance of this question, as I think I already > know the answer to it..
