It seems to me there are a few out there claiming to be shortwave and longwave but are they truly p15 compliant?

If i had it my way i would buy a ham rig and do whatever was necessary to make them work for my needs and still remain legal.
Ramsey has a few qrp rigs for use in the ham bands but i havent read the forums there at ramsey to see if they can operate in the p15 area of shortwave. Longwave as we all know is below 550 khz so some am transmitters can be modified for longwave.

Im considering converting my sstran for use in longwave area and im pretty certain it cannot be converted for shortwave.

My reasons for doing this is:
One, i dont see any good coming out of the future of digital radio on am or fm. I would do this to get away from the frying noise we are about to hear on both bands.
Two, the nostalgic reasons. I have always been impressed with the history of shortwave and longwave radio. I used to sit in awe as I tuned into some amateur stations on AM running converted broadcast transmitters. Some of those rigs sound better than station on 530 to 1700.
Three, ive always been a dx’er on ssb/am on 11 meters and would like to branch out into different bands. Maybe print a few qsl cards just in case. 🙂
Anyways, ill keep looking around.
