Congrats Stuart! & Co.
I never doubted you would succeed! ...the wind conspiring to give you just a short
glimpse of -12 dB gave me a chuckle :-) Mr Murphy couldn't help it i guess. It still
seems only natural that SSB would out-perform FM, even though ultimately it's all AM
in the end when it comes to modulating the beams.
more good luck!
