I am listening to a new group of guys using AM on about 3.860 and it near 4:15 PM. They are guys that I have never heard before and are using break-in procedures.
I have heard one identify and he is in Houston.so I expect they are scattered along the Gulf Coast and in South Texas. From what I can tell they are using rice boxes with amplifiers and are doing pretty good with everything. One of them is adept at directing the others on how to set the mic gain, AGC and other controls on the transceivers. He also understands very well not to use more than ~50 watts into the amp, depending on what amp they use. One of them states he is running 350 watts, another said (gasp) 500 watts. The real funny part is the SSB guys who like to live between 3.855 and 3.870 are not happy at all. I just heard another guy identify and he is in Brownwood, TX. Another of them is mobile but I can't hear the call. The static from the storm is a bit much for me to hear all of them. So watch for these guys and lets encourage them to keep it up. 73 Jim./W5JO ______________________________________________________________ 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.
