Not as stupid as the guy who wrote that SSB is AM and obviously isn't
aware that a large portion of VHF transmissions are AM.

Hey twinkle toes, under 47 CFR chapter 80 section 209,
(the FCC regs for maritime radiotelephones) says the only emissions in the
band 156-162 MHZ (VHF) are F1B, F2B, F2C, F3C, F1D, and F2D, which are all
frequency modulated designations.

Also review 47 CFR 80.213 "Modulation Requirements" paragraphs (a), (2),
(d), (e).

Who is the dummy now?
