9 out of 10 shortwave sets can't demodulate SSB.
AM is much easier to receive than SSB, as you don't need a beat frequency oscillator to listen to it.
Private and commercial aviation both use AM to communicate
SSB is more complex to transmit as well.

AN/GRC-19 is the way to go then. A beautiful radio set.
The later replacement GRC-106 is a nest of problems.
It makes 100W, high-level plate modulated power in AM, far superior to SSB in emergencies.
Get your 100A alternator ready, too.

The Transworld PRC 1099 is a sweetie, size of the PRC-25.
