Interesting discussion! I've operated AM for 20 yrs or so, but having done so, never felt any obligation to ONLY operate AM. For the last 5 years I've been doing a LOT of CW work, and really enjoying it. Trying to get my code speed up has really been a fun challenge.
I've also dabbled in QRP, QRO, contesting, vintage SSB, etc etc.... but really enjoy restoring and operating AM. I think one of the things that makes Ham Radio such a durable hobby, is the ability to swap in and out of the various facets/modes/activities .... all of it still being ham radio. I'll probably always enjoy fixing up Yet Another Old Radio, but I certainly dont feel "beholden" to AM only operations. 73 John K5MO ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
