There is still a little AM activity there, usually on Saturday or Sunday afternoon near 2:00 PM.
There are a few guys in southwest Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas that have semi-regular weekend schedules. I remember the hay day of 7160, especially on Saturday mornings and Saturday nights. There was John, W5MEU with a fine sounding BC610 from San Antonio, plus a guy named Tom, whose call I don't recall, but who had one of the best signals from a Ranger I've ever heard. There was also a guy named Paul from Illinois. Going back into the late 70s, I think the last time I heard Fred, W6QS, was on 7160 on a winter evening. Fred was loud wherever you heard him. I've never seen anything written about his station, but it would make a great subject for someone who knew him. I'm omitting many other calls from that 7160 group, but there were a bunch of guys there at least every weekend, and sometimes through the week as well.
