Yeah AM can be cool on HF...which ah....includes....11 meters

Butcha really need to do a little research and make sure in advance that the rig you select will sound good on AM. Some ham rigs do, others don't. Most of the tube final boat anchors will be good but not all. The Yaesu 101 series are awesome but you'll need to have the optional AM filter or they will drive you nuts on the receive side.

Most all of the newer rigs will do well but again you need to make sure. My last Icom 746 was killer on AM. Sounded great. Did 40 watts with swing to 80 and that could be turned up some inside but never did. Could very safely be turned up to 50 and should swing to 100 and will probably do a bit more.

Good luck!
