[BC] AM Stereo On A Mono Radio

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Jerry:

IF we went AM Stereo, we would make a serious upgrade in the audio
processing. Going AM Stereo is not definate yet, but I'm researching the
possibilities and the pros/cons.

We would be going solid state.. a.) because the tube transmitter is on its
last legs (had another mini short in it 2 days ago) and b.) wed save enough
on an electricity bill to make it worth the upgrade to a Solid State TX
