Two questions:
AM uses carrier
SSB pumps all the wattage into modulation
COnsidering the legal 4 watts Vs 12, which gets out further?
Also, if using a little amplification, are there any rules of thumb that hold true - like SSB goes 4 times further than AM
amd 100 watts of amp on AM vs 100 watts of amp on SSB can get you x more miles type of thing
