Does no one zero beat the station they are talking to anymore? Well, I know a lot do, however since I've gotten back on the air after 5 or 6 years of absence, I've noticed this seems to be a real problem nowadays. I truly think that if more AM'ers would practice this, we might hear less from the SSB stations, and conserve more BW in the area so that other AM QSO's could be established. There is one net in particular on Tuesday nights I know of that has AM'ers all over the so called AM window checking in. In this case, the net controller should instruct all stations to "zero beat" his signal, and do so several times during the net. During this net, I can't operate anywhere from 3880 to 3890. The net occurs on 3885, or rather that's where everyone should be.
Zero beating is just one way we could improve relations with SSB ops, and ourselves... 73 Brian w5ami -- "There is nothing more uncommon than common sense." -- Frank Lloyd Wright ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net
