Hi Robert, I have heard this too. Actually several times, and like Bob, have tried to say something, but so far it has done no good. I hate it because I thought these guys were my friends. I am also one of the so called "guilty" parties they are apparently referring to that meet very early in the morning with a group on 3897 SSB from time to time. A lot of these guys on 97 either do not have any AM rigs, or simply no real power for AM to be heard. They are my friends, and I will talk to them regardless of the mode. PERIOD.
There are a lot of good AM'ers that meet on that freq., so please don't let just a few run you off. I have not be AM able here of late, however I do have some nice AM transmitters that I hope to get on the air soon, one of which is a Gates BC-1T. Due to really bad back problems and a very busy time of year for me, that project has been on hold. Bob Peters is right. The more we get on and NOT discuss what these few seem to want to, it might make this go away. I do agree with your feelings however. 73 Brian / wa5am PS: Hope to be back on with a REAL AM rig soon! -- "Money is only temporary, radios are forever" - Jim Little aka "the old dawg"/K5BAI ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
