Default Old Xmtrs, "Ancient Modulation" and Amps

Thanks for pointing this out. Unlike SSB, the legal limit for AM has been
reduced from what it had previously been.

The problem is a ham linear will not deliver 1000 watts carrier

PEP on AM is at least 4X carrier.

The current power limit for AM is 1500 watts PEP. This
means a carrier output of 375 watts. Easily obtainable
with the proper linear amp.
