AM is
used
by
radiotelephone
and
teletypewriter
transmitters
operating
in
the
medium
and
high
frequency
bands.
The
intelligence
of an AM
signal
exists
solely
in
the
sidebands.
It is
susceptible to
electrical
storm
interference
.
You
may
observe
this
by
tuning
in an AM
station
on
your
car
radio
during
a
thunderstorm.
The
interference
happens
the
instant
the
lightning
flashes.
