[AMRadio] AM IARU Region 2 Bandplan

[rbethman]

That is precisely WHY I posted my earlier message today!  Subject: 
Signal Bandwidth.

To lay out what the ENTIRE AM signal is composed of, and by words, 
describe what it will/would look like, whether you laid it out on a 
graph with stubby pencil, or were to look at it with a station monitor 
scope.

I use a Kenwood Station Monitor, SM-220, with the BP-8 Panadaptor option.

I indeed SEE the signal.

I am VERY aware of what the Bandplan looks like, since I downloaded it 
and certainly have read it.

I am concerned where the chips are going to fall.

I am also aware of the difference between IARU and the ITU.
