But AM is just amplitude modulation imposed on an electromagnetic wave.
If you've got waves, I'm pretty sure you're going to have a Doppler
effect. 

Maybe aviation doesn't show much Doppler because they are going
relatively slowly (compared to spacecraft) and they operate in the VHF
realm, where Doppler is less obvious (like 2m on the satellites).
