Hi All, West Coast used to be on 3870. I think they still are, I got promoted about 5 years ago and now work evenings, so I don't get on much. For the AMI net listen around 19:00 to 20:00 Pacific on Wednesday. You should hear something. Skip, K6YRZ, who was a backup control, says there are lots of folks there still. Check it out, if control can't hear you, somebody will relay you in. Lots of NW AM'ers and a Canadian or two check in. While I'm on my self imposed hiatus I've been restoring my BA's, but I do hear some activity on 40 and 20 on the weekends. Nothing on 10 at the moment. Anybody still doing the coast to coast late night 40 meter stuff? The band seems to go long enough when I listen when I get home around 01:00 AM Pacific.
