Thanks, Bob No, AM signals above 150 mhz go straight down into the gound and cause earth tremors, unless you're on the ocean, in which case they just slosh around. SSB signals propogate outward from the antenna in a spiral pattern. Digitally-encrypted FM signals above 150 mhz propogate in a checkerboard pattern. Sorry, couldn't resist. As far as I know, radio signals at a given frequency will have identical propogation characteristics regardless of transmission mode. |
