I enjoy VHF/UHF-FM, and of course the more relaxed QSOs on HF/AM/SSB.I have
been involved with the quick TR QSOs as well as long "key downs" on all the
above modes. It's funny to me that some folks seem to key down longer and speak
more slowly on SSB, and even slwwweeer on AM. I am new to AM
Very true Rob. The band/conditions do have to support the armchair
type copy for a good ragchew. The assumption is that these conditions
are satisfied. I had some great ragchews on all of the HF bands at
some point or another. It's a matter of finding another willing
station. Ragchews do n
I don't particularly care for the fast TR type qso. I hear it mostly
in big groups but even though I currently run mostly modern gear, I
have to switch a couple of things and prefer longer transmissions
where I have a few seconds to check the carrier level and see things
"settle down" so I like th
Hey there John! Thanks for the kind words. I always enjoy our QSO's
as well. I have been listening to you and others on 7.160 AM as well
on the weekend afternoons and I will be getting something in the air up
soon to allow me to join you all there on 40 meters AM.

Well Bob! I've had more than one QSO with AMer's from the Northwest in
recent history! I certainly remember a few nice QSO's with Steve,
KL7OF from TumTum, WA. You gotta call CQ sometimes, you may be
surprised! Steve was engaging and interesting using a homebrew
transmitter and as I recall
Hello Steve,
You bring up excellent points concerning the fast break-in mode of AM.
I do give a nod to the fast break in type of operation towards the end
of the article but I will add a bit more to that section. The low
power and limited antenna argument for faster break-in operation is
cer
Great effort, John. I have enjoyed our QSO's and look forward to more
in the future. Lately, I have been striving for brevity and
conciseness, as there are more AM enthusiasts joining the fray.
Thanks for tabling the subject.

What do we talk about these days? I have not heard an AM transmission here
in the PNW in about 4 years now.

On AM I enjoy QSOs using what you describe as a "ragchew" (longer
transmissions) roundtable *and* the fast-turnaround group conversations
. Most AMers do the long transmissions, I admit, but it should not be
considered the only way it is done on the mode.

Hello AM enthusiasts. I think there is a fine art to ragchewing.
Because I sometimes struggle with it I wrote up a little article about
it. Hope you all enjoy it and I would be open to anything that might
be useful to add to it.

Gene: Not without mods. The PMR-6A had an internal VR tube [OB2] for the
oscillator B+.
The PMR-8 does not. The -8 gets its regulated oscillator B+ from the M-1070 or
similar power supply. Also, the connectors are different; 8-pin octal vs
cinch-jones. Hope this helps.
