[amsat-bb] Doppler shift question

[Noel Petit]

the other reason to stick with AM is that you can hear if other stations 
are trying to break in. FM has capture and blocks all but the strongest 
station. AM can superimpose multiple signals and hear if emergency calls 
may be made. Additionally, in the '30's FM was nearly impossible to 
generate reliably. AM doesn't depend on the transmitter's stability (to 
an extent).
