The other alternative could be, no input to any band plan; AM is phone;
I'll operate phone wherever my license privileges allow and deal with my
adjacent frequencies on a case by case basis.
Putting a band plan with AM related info on an AM only web site, means

Tom, your discourse on the no code licensing was great. I have never looked
down at a n/c Extra as being inferior, except in jest, but I can remember
having one hell of a time getting my code speed up past 20wpm at the same
time I had the theory down pat. They never seemed in sync. I never
Some where around here I have a mid 1970s license manual. The last time I
looked at it, the Advance question pool was about 75 questions and the extra
had 90.
As a former technical person, I liked the old tests because they did not ask
me how long a VE or VEC had to forward paperwork to the

Bob,
Your reply is appreciated. One of my pet peeves is that this topic seems to
always be presented in a shoot the messenger mentality. I did not write
the rules but have to live with them. If anyone has any angst about this
topic it should be referred to the FCC and ARRL as you mentioned, not
Sorry Clay - I cannot grant your wish.
DX stations all ove rthe world buy crystals from me.
Besides I only have ONE crystal on 3790 kHz.
Perhaps sanctions would work? (grin!)
Brian,
As an active AMer and 75M DXer, I request that you please not offer crystals
within 10 KHz of the 75M DX
Actually no, AM has been used in the region of 3837 kHz
for some time, and down around 7160 kHz too - hardly the
to of the band. Why do you think it is wrong?
Considering the fact that you are outnumbered by 500 to 1 at any given time,
I would think it wise to stay up at the top of each band
From: Todd, KA1KAQ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
500-1? I think you need to get on a bit more often, Bob. AM has made a
huge comeback over the last decade, and the 'gentleman's agreement'
you mention seems only to be respected by the AMers. Just check 3870 -
3890 any night, you'll hear

If AM is getting so popular, why aren't there any manufacturers
producing any equipment?
Look at the function switch on most modern HF transceivers, Bob.
There is usually a position marked AM.
I can see this is going to be a conversation like a lot you
can hear on 75m SSB! NOt very deep - mostly more like:

Hi Guys , I had some AM T Shirts made for the group here in Texas and
still have some left over.
The LOGO USED was the old TUNGSOL TUBE LGO with on the bottom AM

No problem Brian. In fact I need to order another crystal from you. My
purpose was to make sure members of the group are aware of the
long-established DX window from 3789 to 3800. It is officially 3790 to
3800, but has drifted down an extra kHz in the past few years (those DXers

All this verbiage are my opinions on the state of hobby. Yours may

You said a mouth full and you are correct. I am one of those 20wpm

Is there any reason why one could/should not use a rice box as a vfo on
a simple rig like the Knight T60 or any other for that matter.
Assuming we get the output down to an appropriate level, it would seem
like a neat way doing things.

Hello Jack: My TS-430 works OK as a VFO. You should make a 5 to 10 Watt
attenuator to insure that the output is terminated correctly. A better way is
to use the Transverter jack (socket) on the back of the 430. The
output level
is only 50 mW and is 50 Ohms. The transverter output may not
You can also use one on a broadcast transmitter

Those of us who depend on the upper hf bands for much of our AM operation
due to limited power or antennas are eagerly awaiting better conditions on
15 and 10 meters.
Since 15 meters will become more useable first, and since the General
allocation on that band will soon increase by 25 khz,
Some more recordings made from N. Central AR by me/w5ami. Paul, I
just missed working you. Good to work you again Todd. We had a big
group with a station in WY checking in as well.

Guess I had better get out the manual. Have no clue what a transverter is.
Good luck and be sure you are in CW mode (no Mics!!)
How bout AM with the audio turned all the way down? CW
Tough conditions tonight, Brian. Sounds at least as bad on your end,
but surprisingly I was hearing you much better up here. Even Paul was
down over last night.
Looking forward to quieter times and some good, long haul AM. Working
Tim in WY. was no small feat, weak signal AM work to be sure.

How do you figure that, Bob? Someone prefers not to upgrade to a
higher license to get a few (until recently) more kcs of
