There's this mythical idea hams seem to have, that decent AM can only happen with a big plate modulated tube rig. I have no idea where this comes from,

Rob,
Today AM is a mode of nostalgia, plain and simple. Breaking into a real AM QSO with a Flex radio or some screen modulated rig is like entering a 'Sissy boy' in a bull riding championship. If you want that feel good nostalgic feeling, then you better have some big iron where it counts ! 73, John WA4TT-- 450TH / & pr of 810's
