[Elecraft] Don's comments on ESSB and AM

[Tim Hague]

It may interest folks Stateside but there is a growing amount of AM activity on 5MHz in the UK, I've had great reports using my K3 on AM. Most of the guys however are using ex military equipment and boat anchors. We do have more bandwidth over here though.

And there are groupies running AM especially on 160 meters, some with K3s.  There are also broadcasters running ESSB in growing numbers with the FLEX and Yaseu 3000/5000 radios.  I hear them often.  Why?  I don't get it but its real. The owner base of K3 users tend represent those who want to experienment and operate with all that's possible. The K3 can do that and play well in the company of the alternatives.
