[AMRadio] "Real" AM'er

[Bernie Doran]

I only have one small toggle switch, followed by a bunch of relays, very 
easy to do.   I do have an interesting old, old 200 A open knife switch 
here, that might be amusing to hook it up and use it if someone came by!! 
maybe feed a big inductor so it would have a huge arc when opened.  snarf,

Yea, but if you wanna run an Authentic "Old Buzzard Station", that is how it 
was done back then.

There is no limitation to the fidelity of AM radio. From a mathematical 
standpoint, AM does better in frequency response than FM. - Leonard Kahn
