Jim's always had GREAT AM Audio from any transmitter he's run.  
Listening on 75m at 2:30 in the afternoon, in the winter time in South 
Texas meant that he was around 20 ~ 30db / S-9, w/100w, and 400w of 
average peak power, 100 miles away.

What was that rig, Jim?  Something like a single 4D32 modulated by a 
pair of 811's, or something similar?  It was stout *and* had plenty of 
'presense' ;-)
