it's true to say AM is not considered very sexy these days, but
there's life in the old dog yet.<br>
<br>
Our first RSL broadcasts were on AM back in 1995, using a
transmitter of my own design, and we had good daytime reception over
a wide area, with none of the black spots you often get on low power
FM! The antenna design is vital for AM, but we were on 1 watt EMRP
and we had listeners as far away as Sweden and Germany. It's worth
remembering that there are far fewer stations on AM these days,
causing less interference, so for community broadcasting, AM could
be very worthwhile. especially when backed up by a good quality
stream.<br>
<br>
If anyone would like more info on AM, feel free to get in touch.<br>
