[AMRadio] Re: am bandwidth threatened by the fcc (humor)

[Jim Candela]

    This reminds me of when I lived at another QTH (about 1984) and a fellow ham lived about 2 houses away in a residential neighborhood. I ran AM on 3880 with a GK-500B, SP-600, and he ran SSB on 3910 with a rice box. When he was on the air, my SP-600 would de-sense a bit, but it was tolerable. When I keyed up the 500B, his receiver went into overload (no front end selectivity), and it didn't matter where his dial was set as I was there loud, and distorted. My "perceived" bandwith was dc to light. The guy was a hot head, and after a brief visit I realized that there was no solution in the midst of threats, and prejudices. I on occasion would listen on 3910 after one of my "old buzzard" transmission (3880) from my 500B, and you would't believe the language I heard about me, and AM in particular. There was no reasoning with him. I wonder if the guy who wrote that anomalous email is my old neighbor?

Typical slop-buckit mentality.

The one thing that surprises me is that I didn't think that 11 Meter "Export
radios" could even receive 20 meters!
