The debate over which is better SSB of AM is getting old.

The AM Window should not be interfered by SSB or other modes, and the SSB
Window should not be interfered by AM, CW, Digital or other.

If AM is getting so popular, why aren't there any manufacturers producing
any equipment?
Where have you been the past 20+ years? Nearly all HF transceivers made
to-day include true double-sideband full carrier AM mode, along with SSB, CW
and various digital capabilities.

I guess I should have specified plate modulated AM transmitters. You are

on FM, RTTY and PKT. I wonder how many people use these modern day

Why we operate a given mode can be a never-ending discussion.
For me, the very basic reason that I operate AM is because it is simply fun.

Yeah, I remember when Ten-Tec said that AM was archaic. The AM guys let them
know how they felt, and now even Ten-Tec sells transceivers with AM
capability.But, IMHO, the best AM is from tube gear. That is why I have a

Old and dead news with the 7290 bulletin frequency. Max. 10 minutes a day

Maybe they should just remove it from their band plan.
Fine your feelings about input. I'm sure no input is also "input" to
