Re: [AMRadio] AM Transmitter quality

Don, et al. my audiologist told me that when I get my new hearing aid, I can hear way past 10,000 cycles. I cannot wait to hear those expanded frequencies coming from enhanced audio modulators. Bring it on!! And, who said that growing old doesn't have its advantages! David Knepper, W3ST-W3CRA

Keep in mind that some of the here stations may be within your cone of silence. I live in The South of Oklahoma and there is a guy over in Central New Mexico near Alberquirky that I haven't heard in about 2 years.He is very active on 7.290 but propagation is not favorable for us any

From: Jim Wilhite w...@brightok.net They can be found on 3.663 in the mornings and afternoons now. Pity that they chose that spot. On everyone else's recommendation for some new zone AM spots, I built a stock of 80m AM crystals for everyone on 3675, 3685 and 3735 kHx.

I also check 7160 but am hesitant to start calling CQ because whenever I check it, there are SSB qsos all over it every 2 khz or so. 73 rob k5uj On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 6:55 AM, hdale77...@aol.com wrote: Where is the AM activity on 40M these days. I listen to 7160 and 7290. Occasionally hear

Dale, I'm hoping to become active on 40M AM as soon as I can get the equipment setup finalized.  I just got my receiver back from the repair/alignment doctor and it's sweet!  Transmitter has been proved into a dummy load so I'm almost ready to golive as they say in the computer biz. Maybe

Thanks to all the reply's concerning the 7160 freq... I listened/called CQ several times today with no results. True, there's a lot of SSB activity there. I think we missed the opportunity. 40M has been poor for SE comms in the past few years. I remember a few years back it was the prime

There are people like that everywhere and if you don't hear any activity for more than a minute or two, then that is too bad. Many operators listen to a frequency and claim ownership. Just call and if I hear you and have time, I will answer and talk to you as time permits. Don't let those

I have been so busy lately, the radio has not been on at all. 40 meters seems poor for years now, I think it needs some sun spots to work well. It used to be a gang buster band, with 20 people on in 3 round tables, with people coming and going all day. When 40 works well, 50 watts is enough to

Hi Berni: Just saw your appeal. If you have a photo of the receiver or can tell me its tuning frequency range, we might be able to identify it. It may have been a NM-10 (AN/URM-6) with a VLF range of 14 kHz to 250 kHz. This 1950s model had a separate power supply and a panel cover. It is
