Well stated, except for the AM window which does exist. Further the ARRL has announced 3870 as the West Coast Calling Frequency. I do notice that it is hard to find on the present web site.
Only one question. You seem to be very concerned about AM operation on 3970. Why haven't we ever heard you operate on 3870? 73 de Bill, ab6mt [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "ars.w5omr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" <amradio@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] the post about amfone.net post last week... > A.R.S. - W5AMI wrote: > > Thanks Todd, you're a good guy and I know all of us around here think > > the same way. > > Todd?
