Remember, Bob - 100w of AM = / ~400w PEP SSB. Tell your friend he can afford a bit more power on SSB, if he plans on running AM. The old dog, this morning, said Money and Radios are temporary... Friends are forever. Merry Christmas, m'friend, to you and yours. And, to everyone else on here. 73 -Geoff/W5OMR (home in San Antone)
