Bry, Gary, Craig,
If you are planning to get on by 9AM or so, Eastern
time, why not grab 7283 or 7285Kc instead of higher
up? This allows two AM QSOs to establish with enough
elbow room to stay enjoyable. It's tough for some of
us between the AM nests of the Midwest and Northeast
to carve out a conversation when it's all on 7290Kc,
and 7295 is a leetle too close to the brick wall for
me.

Hey Gary and other AM ops...
Yeah, I will plan to be on 40m AM this Saturday Gary.
Probably much of the day unless they drag me away!
Maybe some of the other guys will join us too!
I want to get some audio comments on my DX60 signal
since I don't have a decent mod. monitoring scope here
at
present.
