From: "Mike Duke, K5XU" Subject: [AMRadio] Which Bands for Summer
AM?
I'm sure the static level was just as high when I was an SWL in
the mid and
late 60s as it is today, but I lived on 40 meters at night during
the
summer. That's where I copied my first CW over the air.
Despite the multiple occurrences of Voice of America, Radio
Moscow, BBC,
Radio Prague, and others, there was still a lot of aAM activity on
40 at
night until about 1968 or so.
The SSB activity was also pretty solid. I'm convinced there were
more
signals crammed into the space between 7.2 and 7.3 than there are
now that
the phone band has been expanded to 7.125.
I now here very little AM activity on 40 meters, either day or
night, and it
looks like everybody has abandoned 14.286 altogether.
As for that other AM band, my local BC station signed off at
sunset. So, for
me it was Art Roberts on WLS from Chicago, and Rob Robins on KAAY
out of
Little Rock.
Will anyone else here admit to listening to Beaker Street, hosted
by Clyde
Clifford on KAAY?
Those "head bangers" don't have anything on the Beaker Street
gang!
