[AMRadio] 7290 Last Night

2007-05-13 Thread Mike Duke, K5XU
Yes, I worked Bill briefly about a half hour after I sent the question about who was on 7290. The station I couldn't dig out was not him. He came on a little later, and called several cq's with a pretty decent signal despite my local noise. He was able to pull out most of my 25 watt rice box

[AMRadio] 10 Meter AM Open

2007-05-28 Thread Mike Duke, K5XU
Beginning just after 11:30 AM central time, I had a 15 minute qso with Bob, K0RDF in Mo. I had to bale out when the phone rang. Haven't heard any other AM on 10, and none on 15. He was running a great sounding Ranger, and I was on my usual Kenwood TS570. Mike Duke, K5XU American Council

There is a group in Louisiana that meets on 3663 several times a week. I sometimes hear them finishing up just as I get in from work. They are generally done by 5 or shortly after. I think they also meet some during the morning, but I'm not sure when. Some days they are on ssb. I also hear

, a BC348Q, an SX62A, and an NC300. I also operated the station of a friend several times when he was using one of the HBR series of receivers that his dad had built from QST. His dad still has it, and it still works great. Mike Duke, K5XU American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs

[AMRadio] Old-Timer AMers?

Funny, SSB operators were making the same stereotypical statements about AM operators when I was a new SWL with a borrowed S120 in 1966. And these guys think they're modern! Mike Duke, K5XU American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs

We have the anniversary date of the expansion coming up on December 16. Why not take to the air down there in the new territory again that evening as was done last year. I'll be there if my local utility gets rid of the noise they finally located last week. Mike Duke, K5XU American
