Yes, 7282 is the So. Cal. group.
I'm in a retirement apt (large closet) and only have a 40M dipole that would
also work on 15M. I can put up a 20M and 10M dipole in my closet. But a full
75M antenna is out of the question.
But I have been thinking about trying a 75M loop in my living window. That may
be one of next year's projects.

Hi Bob,
Wish there were an answer to your question. After moving to the Pacific
Northwest several years ago I put up a 40 dipole. Called CQ for days on 7.290
with little results. Every blue moon I might catch AB7YD out of Seattle. Most
of the daylight hours 40 is dominated by foreign broadcast. I was just out to
the shack at 9 AM, listened for a few minutes and decided too much FBC!
So, my short answer; I put up a 75 meter full wave loop and joined the AM
crowd @ 3.870. Short note, I do hear some carriers on 7.293MHz and I think they
are So-Cal station on AM.

Why does AM operation seem to be limited to 75M only.
When I moved to this location 5 years ago I was able to hear the So. Cal. AM
group on 14286 in the late afternoon. But about one year later all I ever heard
there is SSB.
What's wrong with 40M AM. Am I just listening at the wrong time?
