[Boatanchors] SpaceShip One uses AM

[sdaitch at ibb.gov]

I was told years ago that one of the reasons for
aircraft staying on AM was related specifically to the
heterodyne effect, that is, one could almost always tell
if two (or more) stations were transmitting at the same 
time, so information could be repeated, if necessary.
