[Amps] Centurion cooling improvement ideas for AM service

[Joe Isabella]

Apparently, I'm one of "these morons".  However, be careful not to cast stones when you live in a
glass house, because "Bassiness" has nothing to do with the extended BW.  Only the high
frequencies take up the extra amount between 3 and 6 kHz.  I run out to 6k sometimes, but only
when there is enough space.  I'll continue to use my bottom end even if I only run out to 3.2kHz
or so.

One other thing to keep in mind is that these rules only affect the US.  There are many Canadians
running 6k SSB (hence my moving to Canada comment), so don't expect all the 6k SSB to miraculously
disappear.  Their gov't allows 6k in the voice spectrum which is plenty.  I don't understand why
we have to put such strict limits on it.  

Oh well -- I guess I'll keep on using AM at 9 kHz of bandwidth all the time istead of the 4 to 6
kHz that I would normally have been running on SSB.  Be careful what you ask for.

Joe,
