Here is a snippet...

"The biggest threat to phone ops are solid state cheap transistor amplifiers, golden peaking screwdrivers, and HIFI audio on crowded bands."

Yea, Everyone IS entitled to his/her opinion.

BUT....

I do not agree with the last part of his statement.
It is legal to operate on the mode of AM mostly anywhere on the phone bands, so tell me what the difference is from running AM to ESSB?
Its pretty much the same bandwidth except ESSB has NO carrier!
Just for this fact, ESSB is more 'Neighbor Friendly' then AM.
So is it a 'THREAT' to run AM on a crowded band too?
Shame on all those AMers!!
