Do you understand what AM is?

Yeah it comes as the sun rises, then just before lunchtime PM arrives. :-D



Hate to quibble, but AM starts directly after midnight.

So do Night buses, for me AM means mornings, and that starts after I wake up.
The night bus I used to get started about 1am finished about 7am and the first day bus was about 8am.



So somebody who wakes up for a pee at 2AM is when - the previous evening ?

geoff

Do you wake up and 2am and say it's nighttime or do you say it is the morning ?


If someone wrang you up at 2AM would you say don't ring me at that time of night or at that time in the morning. ?






Either equally.

"Don't ring me, it 2 in the morning".

"Good party - I didn't get to bed until 4 in the morning".

As I see it AM/PM are 90 degrees out of phase{1} with day/night.

{1} Variation with latitude noted.

don't forget about ssb (single sideband) and the many variants of

Not forgetting PWM which a lot of mains light dimmers use for LED.

that falls into the 'many variants of digital category'.

It's still a type of modulation and far more common today than Amplitude Modulation.

Plus it can and does cause interference.

Yep. Those damned square corners are the problem.

You did all the proving. Don't sweat it.

OK. You want to play the superior. FYI I was building transmitters,
receivers and amps from more than 70 years ago.

BFD. I had technicians from that era attempting to observe GPS signal
in the correct part of the spectrum on a spectrum analyzer (late 80's ish).

Which is, of course, impossible.

They wouldn't believe it wasn't possible.

They wouldn't listen to the facts until after they saw it couldn't be done.

I guess that's one way of learning.

Too bloody right why doesn't someone invent round corners :-)

When dealing with square aves the fundamental instruction is Sin no
more. Whe asked why, the answer is Cos.

swell I don't know any square aves, or square daves or raves, once my nickname was wavy dave thought.

the fundamental instruction is Sin no more.

Sounds a rather boring instruction.

Th'res nothing quite like a good Sin to keep the blood flowing

Especially with a Cosec in the Cot.

Whe asked why, the answer is Cos.

I'll Log that in my diary.
