Al, Tim, Ed and the guys have been using 3725 north of the border for years. I've caught Donovan on 3720 and elsewhere too. They've used AM on that end of the band for years. The whole idea of being known for 'a' frequency strikes me as a good way to get boxed in again. Even worse for us to do it to ourselves. I'd much prefer to see references to SSB removed and either 'voice' or 'phone' used instead. Voluntarily segregating ourselves to tiny slivers of the bands doesn't strike me as a good idea. It's easy enough to know if it's an AM contact when you spin the dial around. ~ Todd, KA1KAQ ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ 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.
