Tom, I believe AM was the only mode adversely affected by FCC Docket 82-624.
A 100% sine-modulated carrier of 375 watts output produces ~ 1500W PEP out.
But under the old rules of a maximum limit of 1 KW D.C input., and assuming
a transmitter with say 60% efficiency at 1KW DC input, the carrier power is
conceivably 600 W, or ~ 2400 W PEP out.
As a result AMers lost some power while other modes gained power.
Paul, W9AC.
