FWIW - I spend the vast majority of my shack time restoring old gear - I always flip on a receiver and tune around for some AMers to listen to in the background. Whenever I have *finally* got something working on the bench, it would be nice to think folks who seem to be just passing time shooting the breeze wouldn't mind a quick break for a signal report. But it seems hard to find anyone who pauses long enough between overs to allow such a thing. And no response to a CQ on a clear frequency either means the repair job isn't working or nobody's listening.
Mind you I'm not interested testing my power supply's longevity by making an old buzzard transmission about the People's Republic of New Jersey or whatever, just would like to know if I'm making some progress on all this junk in the shack. So please keep an ear out for folks who are trying to get AM running on a 60-year old Navy transmitter (or on a 60-day old rice box). If you're a Big Gun, taking a little time to be helpful doesn't cause you much inconvenience and is greatly appreciated on the other side. cheers, Nick K4NYW www.navy-radio.com ______________________________________________________________ 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 Post: [email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
