Sheldon et al,
I have a couple of questions.....

Why haven't broadcasters gone to single sideband AM? From what I understand, 
it loses no fidelity yet requires about half the power for the same signal 
level?

How come the religious broadcaster get frequencies outside the normal SW 
broadcast spectrum? You hear them all over the dial and some are 
broadcasting from the US or other first world countries? If I operated out 
of band with multi kilowatts, you can bet I'd be shut down quick!

Sheldon, I'd love to see some info on 4x4 or 4x6 dipole arrays that get 
15-25 db gain. Any info on that on the 'net.

Inquiring minds want to know!
