Then again, not everything that is posted here is therefore true.
There is lively AM activity in the weekends on or near 3705 kHz. Partly
because all the nostalgia gear uses it, but mostly it is good fun.
Actually, there are NO restrictions on the modulation class,
except 137 kHz (only CW allowed) and 10 MHz (no 'phone allowed), and the
subband 50 - 50.45 MHz (just CW and SSB; the rest of the band ad libitum).
(from a list provided by Dutch Telecoms authority)
It is only reasonable that bandwidth used should be in accordance with the
current state of the art (e.g. no wideband FM on HF) and that interference
should be avoided in so far as practical (you are not expected to use 16
kHz wide FM on 80 meters)
There are certain restrictions for novices, but that was not the point.
