Hi Dave, I think you need to check your antenna ??? I hear lot's of AM activity on 75m (I have to admit I am not on 40m much)
Saturday morning The Midwest Classic Radio Net on 3885 run by Rob WA9ZTY is on for 2-3 three hours at least. Sunday morning The DX-60 net goes on for a number of hours on 3880 run by Mike N8ECR Wednesday evenings on the First Wednesday of every month on 3880 The Collins Collectors Association runs their AM Night for 5-6 hours. On all the other Wednesdays Mike N8ECR runs the Mighty Elmac net that runs for three plus hours On every Tuesday evening the SAMRC run by Andy WA4KCY and Sam KF4TXQ run a swap net that I can even checkin to from Central Illinois goes on for a number of hours. Plus in the mornings 3885, 3880 and others are busy with AM QSO's until mid morning. Plunk dow a couple of bucks an but an issue of Electric Radio and not only see some great articles but also get a listing of all the AM nets, swaps and rag chews that go on across this great nation ON AM! There are a lot listed! And probably many more happening. 73 Larry WA9VRH Collins Collectors Association Archive Manager Collins Collectors Association AM Night Manager Just someone who loves operating AM no matter what rig! ----- Original Message ----- From: "david knepper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 6:04 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Phone band expansion > With all the email flying back and forth on band expansion, etc., it is no > wonder that AM activity on 75/40 meters is sadly lacking. > > Please no flames!
