No because the project emphasizes AM, an old spectrum-hog mode
which ought to have been retired about 1965.


Why? AM is a legal mode, with advantages and disadvantages.


AM is a relic, inefficient in it's use of spectrum, and inefficient in it's use
of power (only half of the transmitted power contains intelligence and half of
that half is discarded at the receiver!).

But some hams still like to operate AM, nothing wrong with that.

And my 1931 Model A Ford is "inefficient", but I still like to drive it!
