Keep in mind that you can copy AM stations quite well in SSB mode by 
zero-beating the carrier and choosing the better sideband (some SWBC 
stations seem to transmit only one sideband plus carrier).

I'm not suggesting that this provides high-fidelity reception, but it is 
surprisingly good, especially for speech.
