Re: [AMRadio] AM Power Level

Hi Joe, Generally for 100% positive modulation, 1500W PEP translates into a 375Watt carrier. (These are output levels.) But in the real work=ld, this ain't necessarily so... Check WA5BXO's website, there is some interesting reading on AM power regarding carrier and modulation vs. PEP.

Re: [AMRadio] Camp X Field Day

Hi Matthew, Does your group have plans to include a vintage, 40's era set-up at the site, as well as the more modern gear...? A receiver like the RCA AR-88 comes to mind, which WAS, indeed, used in the original Camp X radio room (condfirmed by photos in the lobby of Lear Seating, which is

RE: [AMRadio] AM Power Level
