Why don't voice radio communications use FM?

You get sick and fly the airplane.

That's what I feared. With a simulator, I stop the sim and lie down
(although sim flight hasn't made me sick so far).

After about 15 minutes the nausea went away to be replaced by the most
GAWD AFFUL head ache I can remember. An hour and 8 minutes after
entering the crap we popped out the side of a bigggg cumulus with
nothing but clear sky ahead. I turned around and looked up, and up,
and up, then scrunched down in the seat so I could look up even
farther. My remark: "We just came out of that!" Instructor's bored
sounding remark: "Sorta looks that way."

See above. If I don't like the weather on a sim, I change it. In
heavy turbulence things bounce around a lot, but of course I can't
feel it.

I think they were all on the one flight I took. :-)) It was the 6:30
AM flight out of Denver for Cleveland (737). We hit the jet stream
interface right after breakfast. There were only a couple of empty
seats. Seams like it was only one and all but about 10 of us got sick.

Ick.

As a pilot you aren't even allowed to take Dramamine. Which after
flying home from Marysville KS my wife marked "That Dramamine is
wonderful stuff!".

It would have to be a drug that doesn't influence cerebration.
Unfortunately, there are no anti-nausea drugs in this category that I
know of.

Which reminds me ... are you allowed to take stuff for headaches when
you fly? I get migraines and I always have OTC stuff with me, mostly
acetaminophen and aspirin but some OTC remedies here contain small
amounts of codeine. Antihistamine sometimes works well but that would
be out of the question when flying because it makes one sleepy and
inattentive (analgesics don't generally do this).
