Is there some advantage to this mode of transmission?

Well, it certainly is a plus as it will result in a stronger signal since all
the 'info' is concentrated in one sideband or the other.

Much like standard USB or LSB... all the power is concentrated in one sideband
or the other.

I'm certain someone besides me can explain it better.

I've noticed that WBCQ on 5105 only seems to transmit with an upper
sideband. It has a normal carrier and so can be heard on a radio in
regular
am mode, although with reduced audio level I assume. But on a radio with
Sync detection you get strong audio in Upper Sideband mode and NO audio
in
Lower Sideband mode. I even heard the Rabbi mention this on his show the
other night, so it is obviously intentional. Since this tends to weaken
the
audio when listening in the am mode, can anyone tell me why they would
broadcast this way? It seems to be an unusual mode, neither SSB nor am
but
am with only one sideband.

Yes, they operate on 5105 with suppressed carrier on the LSB, sometimes
referred to as CUSB.
