[ARC5] AM on 40m?

[Chris Bowne]

 My T22/ARC-5 works fine on 40 with a BC 456 screen modulator on CW and AM. There are no restrictions on operating. AM within a window 7290 most common lots of ops down around 7160 also.

When the QRM/QRN picks up, most of what the receiving op actually hears sounds a bit like Charlie Brown's teacher in "Peanuts" -- "whp-WAMP-wump-wup-Wank-WHOP-whup..." etc etc.  The BAAAAAAASS washes everything else out.
