What sort of receiver do you use? I'm curious as to what isn't happy with sideband + carrier. Much of this is an experimentation process for us.

Signal very strong, but difficult to make out voice or enjoy music. Perhaps over-equalized, over-compressed, IMHO.

Heavy metal tunes are the true challenge of an AM transmitter. Transformers growl just as loudly as the guitars.

I'm using a Reuter RDR Pocket. It does fine with a single sideband, but I had it in SSB to start with and it was fiddly to tune your signal. Switching back to AM solved that. And then you went back to AM.

Much of that is the source material. I may be a little over aggressive on the compression myself. I play some very...not pleasant music sometimes. For example, Satyricon does not do well over AM. One learns a lot about the hits of the past by blasting out shitty AM today.
You want to be a hitmaker? Blat out your tunes over HF and see if they sound like garbage not, if not, you might have a hit. Really. Shit we've learned here at Sternradio.
