Don said: I'd also like to hear more AM activity from 5-land in the new Extra class portion of 75m. From the day of the band expansion, AM'ers have attempted to congregate near both sides of the 3700 kc/s boundary, in the upper part of the Extra segment and lower part of the Advanced segment. There was much enthusiam and much AM activity during the first couple of weeks after the expansion, but as the novelty wore off, AM activity down there has become very sparse, and most of the AM activity has migrated back up the 3870-90 kc/s "ghetto". I frequently call "CQ AM", but most of my responses are from SSB operators who decided to give AM a try, sometimes for the very first time. Many of these have turned out to be very interesting and enjoyable QSO's, and some of these operators have expressed interest in continuing to participate in AM activity now that they have experienced it. However, I would like to hear more activity by the AM regulars in that part of the band.
Don k4kyv Don, I have found that I have a few 'rocks' at 3710, 3745, and 3645 that I can use in my MK-214D. I didn't make any contacts until Sunday when I hooked up with John, W3JN. I intend to make frequent sojourns there now that the spring/summer hash has made its appearance.
