[AMRadio] AM and power

[James M. Walker]

Been following this thread, and have a few comments!

I have and use, a DX-100 plain model, it drives a single 4-1000A
on 160 thru 10 meters. When I tuned it up it was per the Regs
requirement for AM signals/transmitters. I also monitor the output
the modulation wave-form and my Max-power input. 

Some of the folks I listen to on 80/40 meters, have the "attitude"
(My version of AM is the only one that counts!) When they are
called to task for being too wide or generating spurs up and down
the band, they say the "finder of the offense" has a cheap receiver
poor antenna, or No "YA M" skills. Rubbish, if it isn't working
properly, correct it, don't start ragging on the guy who caught your
error! The error remains until you fix it, simple as that.

The Clique mentality is what causes most of the problems,
as in "Interlopers Need NOT Apply", makes no sense and wastes
others time, yet another good reason to shut down and go watch
TV!
