[AMRadio] AM promo in QST

The February QST actually has a sort of promo article about AM.  Not very informative, and has the admonition about not operating in crowded band conditions or contests.  Well, I might consider that if those folks who hate AM would not use us to tune up or check out their Ehlllooo, ello

has the admonition about not operating in crowded band conditions or contests.  That point irritated me as well. So AMers should get off the air whenever lots of SSB stations appear? That's absurd. And it actually encourages the mindset that AM stations always have the lower priority, and

Here is what irritated me for the most part: In addition the carrier of an AM signal can make an annoying steady tone in the receiver of a station that is listening to SSB in the next channel. ...listen in SSB mode first to make sure that no one is using SSB nearby before making a call using AM.

The Icom 756 pro series has an auto notch, works on AM and ssb, and will even follow a vfo swisher all over the place and notch it out with very little impact in the audio. Most rigs have an auto and manual notch. The flex 5000 has an auto notch, but on AM it tries to notch the carrier
