Beginning just after 11:30 AM central time, I had a 15 minute qso with Bob,
K0RDF in Mo.
I had to bale out when the phone rang. Haven't heard any other AM on 10, and
none on 15.
He was running a great sounding Ranger, and I was on my usual Kenwood TS570.

were in New York City, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
Counting my contact from yesterday, it's been a long time since I made 4 AM

Hello Don: Several of the HX-10 units locally sound pretty fair with a new
microphone. Also same applies to the HR-2600 and HR-2510. Use low Z
dynamics 500-600 Ohms. D-104 does not work well.

I have a Comsat 35 for trade or sale.

Can't remember which model, Comstat 25, 25A, or 25B but somewhere in the
middle of its series, they changed the crystal mixing frequencies. Didn't
change the model number but followed it up with a service bulletin to the
retail stores who had service shops. The 25 series was a very hot retail

In my Robyn T-123B 23-channel tube-type crystal-mixing type CB, I changed the
first two A oscillator crystals to 25.325 and 25.385 MHz and ended up with
Theo: There once was a plan to move the CB set up exactly 2.0 MHz from the
Channel 1 CB Frequency (26.965) which means that the converted set would
be on 28.965 for channel 1 etc. I never heard much activity there so I
started making Channel 1 start at 29.0 MHz where there is a much better
chance
Great circuit. I have 10m AM crystals for that rig,
in FT243 holders. Several are still left and available for sale.

Thank you to everyone who replied. I have a good place to start.
Going to order crystals for 29.0 and 29.1 next week, then start the
retuning after they are received.
An old ham friend of mine in Georgia just gave me a RS HTX-10 mobile,
which also has AM. I will try playing with that until the

The HTX10 will bring you lots of AM qsos too, but the tube rigs will indeed
sound much better.
I'm curious which cb model you will be converting.
I am active on 10 meters (FM SSB) for some time, but have never
played with AM on this band. Recently a ex-CB (no-code) Tech neighbor
gave me several functional older tube-type crystal controlled CB
radios, which I am considering converting some over to 10 Meters for
AM. Being crystal
anything between 29.0 and 29.1 would work great!

Mark,
Don't let the low power of the cb rigs discourage you. Get one going on 29.0
or above up to 29.1, and keep trying for contacts.
I have had 2 different converted rigs, one old Radio Shack 23 channel ssb/am
unit in the late 70s with which I worked almost all states and many
countries with
Jim and others,
I too have made a few contacts above 29.1 and below 29.0 near the peak of
good conditions.
I haven't made any am contacts near 28.8 since the early 70s. I still have
my old crystal that I ran for 28.825 with my original Viking Ranger when I
was in high school.
These days,
