My two cents.. what do you want? Well FM, in US FCC watches in cities, shortwave on clear channels, bcareful, use diffrent modes, bands.. times, not to excess, -- way to go.
Tx.. best would be probably more expensive, not impossible, just lets face it most peope use junk or their ham gear.
AM.. its ok, not good unless you have 100 watt old buzzard tx. Better in the frequency stability not an issue.
SSB wide band, if possible best efficiency, problem many people don't have what they need, first class digital rx with a PC, these are available for 70-what ever dollars.. need a PC. These are great Rx for SSB, stable.
Tx SSB best, tricky old ham radios are worthless because of phase noise and music will sound like szit.
Needed a phase stable DDS radio. These are out there kits and ham rigs. With ham stuff YOU will need modify to get on a band. Never do it in ham bands, they are vicious in reporting, no sense of humor at all.
Just my two nickles and a dime.
