    Question About Using AM mode on HF

    Well, I am rather a newbie on this forum, so if I have stirred any nests that shouldn't have been stirred, I apologize for that. But, over the years, I have asked at least a dozen of these "Regulation Charlies" who believed that there were general modulation bandwidth limits in amateur radio to...

    Question About Using AM mode on HF

    Hi, Captain. There have been numerous enforcement actions relating to unlicensed operation, intentional interference, and excessive power over the years. But, since there are no modulation bandwidth rules, there cannot have been -- and never have been -- enforcement actions relating to...

    Question About Using AM mode on HF

    1. You're simply wrong if you think that a list of emission designators means there are modulation bandwidth limits in amateur radio. There aren't, and the Commission has stated so several times when they rejected such proposed rules. 2. When I say I want what I've always had, I just mean...

    Question About Using AM mode on HF

    What I want is what I've always had. Not anarchy. Freedom. You apparently want to take that away. And that, sir, is the problem. Every effort impose specific modulation bandwidth limits on amateur radio -- and there have been several dockets, starting in 1977 -- has failed so far. Every...

    Question About Using AM mode on HF

    Thanks for the civilized response. I do get a bit passionate about this issue. Let people decide their own limits. Most people are decent and won't step on existing QSOs, no matter what the mode. (And indecent people can always find a way to hurt others, no matter what the rules.) The...

    Question About Using AM mode on HF

    No, it's an experimental service -- not a collection of "comm channels." The good-quality AM guys and eSSB guys are 100% right. The "keep it narrow" guys are wrong and believe in myths -- like "narrow is more intelligible." It isn't. I have, by the way, been a broadcast engineer since 1976...

    Question About Using AM mode on HF

    Some ill-informed people at the ARRL and FCC have repeatedly tried to push explicit bandwidth regulations down amateurs' throats -- but, so far, thank God, they have failed. Amateur radio is an experimental service and people have the absolute right to experiment with wider-bandwidth audio and...
