Came across a guy that operates the 11 metres band using odd equipment, odd terminology and jargon I never heard in 40 years of being a legal ham radio operator.
They somehow transmit about 4 Watts keying the PTT but when talking, are transmitting hundreds of watts, with monster linear amplifiers in brands never heard of (garage made ?) and some kind of modifications. They call it swing modulation.
----> **broken link removed**
Said it is AM, they do not have to 'clarify' any single sideband beat oscillator on reception.
What the hell is going on ?
