    All mode on Magic Band is way overkill, the most used modes are SSB and FM. When there is an exceptional opening the AMers come out of the woodwork with their boat anchors, Collins, Clegg, and assorted tubes made of unobtanium. Once upon a time in West Creek I used and repaired a Heathkit SB-110, used, repaired, used, repaired, used, repaired, when working I worked every propagation mode there is. It's the only band I know where all propagation modes exist, one day sporadic E, next day meteors, next day aurora, pure magic.

    My Ft2000-D does actually quite well in AM.
    As does the Heathkit SB-1000 rebuild with new 3-500ZG.
