[Boatanchors] =The_SSSOBs_Inspire_Me_Again?

[Radio AI2Q]

Watching my spectrum analyzer that samples at 255 Msample/sec with 16-bit 
output, I see many AM stations on 80 meters occupying 20-kHz of bandwidth. 
Of course both sidebands are identical and carry the same information!

BTW, I occasionally run a Viking Valiant and HQ-180 on AM.
