Amplitude Modulation in Central Florida

[Peter A Markavage]

The 756's are rated at 40 watts max. on AM. However, the recommended AM
power output is about 25 watts. At 40 watts, distortion products can be
noticed on the carrier, and if you do long key-down transmissions, you
can probably kiss your finals goodbye.
