Hey Bob, hope to hear you soon from Mountainair. Don't know your schedule,
but 75 will be good for the shorted distances in the early afternoon around
3:30 or so and up to mid mornings as well.
There is a pretty large group of Colorado, NM, Wyoming, and Nebraska hams on
3.875 in the mornings. They get started about 7:30 MST I think. Watch for
them as well as getting into Texas and Oklahoma groups.
Congrats on the acquisition and hope it last as long as you.

To All-
Hi! I just thought I would let everyone know that this
past week, I purchased a complete AM
transmitter/receiver station w/accessories! It is very
similar to the one I had in New Jersey as WA2CXS in my
senior year of high school 1968. I purchased a
partially restored (LV-HV filters, screen bias
resistor) Johnson Viking II with matching external VFO
just off the air and working. Also the receiver is a
National NC-109 (I had a NC-300 in 1968 strictly ham
bands). The accessories include a Hallicrafters HA-1
keyer, D-104 Astatic unamplified mike, and a TR
homebrew switch. All for $200.00 cash!!! Needless to
say I am ecstatic on getting back on HF AM after all
these years with my near exact second ham radio
station. My first one as a Novice WN2CXS was a
Heathkit DX-60B transmitter and Lafayette HA-63
general coverage receiver September, 1967.
I am picking up these electronic treasures Friday and
brining them home. I next need to string up my G5RV
antenna and setup my operating table.
See you on the HF AM frequencies, especially 75 and 40
meters, soon.
Best 73's,
