Thank you Bob and Thank you Steve...There is NO BIG deal here folks..We do not live by the so called Band Plan...Just operate AM with good operating practices and enjoy HAM RADIO and don't think about band plans... When the FCC starts getting involved then we worry but the US GOV has no time to think about a bunch of HAMS when all they can worry about is about how much money they can take from us in Health Care...Now that is where you should be putting your time and Energy not an AM band plan...

Just use a 6db/octave rolloff at 3KHz. There is not much 3KHz or higher energy in the human voice.And we are not supposed to be playing music. Bob Macklin K5MYJ Seattle, Wa.
