On March 29, in addition to many AM stations having regular QSOs, I would like to see a frequency in the General section (7.175 - 7.200 kHz) and one in the Advanced/Extra (7.125 - 7.175 kHz) that had continuous QSO activity on it analogous to the what happens on the monthly directed net "First Wednesday CCA AM Nights" on 75 meters where more than a hundred stations may take part across the country as net control stations hand off to each other as propagation changes.

During the Riley Hollingsworth days there were FCC actions against hams who were hogging THEIR (in their opinion) frequency by doing the same thing. I'm sure you all know the person or persons at fault. They were being curmudgeonly just to be a-holes. I'm just saying, if we have some guys who are good at filibustering and can take turns on freq. vs. broadcasting even ham related info, we'd be better off than opening the AM crowd to FCC actions that the SSB crowd can use against us. I'm OK with the SSBS'ers throwing 5.56 at us, but if we give them 7.62 or 50cal. to use on us because we handed them the ammo can we've got no one to blame but ourselves.

Sure, my converted broadcast transmitter will run 24/7 on whatever 40m frequency you want, but I may have to resort to recorded programming, like the "Best of 75m AM" alternating with the "Best of 10m AM" another time. I just found a 90 minute tape full of the propagation benefits of Solar Cycle 23, with VK2BA and myself in one outstanding QSO, with a sprinkling of others. Wow. Anyway, I'm game, say where.
