[AMRadio] New link to Info on AM and legal power limits.

[russ dworakowski]

Hey Guys-  just in passing,  I want to tell you,  I am running a Johnson
Adventurer and plate modulating it with an Eico 730 modulator.  [pair of 
EL34s  to a single 807.  It does about 20 watts out.  But  with all
that available audio,  I get real good reports all the time.  QSB is the 
only problem.  Russ.
