Hi Bob,
Wish there were an answer to your question. After moving to the Pacific Northwest several years ago I put up a 40 dipole. Called CQ for days on 7.290 with little results. Every blue moon I might catch AB7YD out of Seattle. Most of the daylight hours 40 is dominated by foreign broadcast. I was just out to the shack at 9 AM, listened for a few minutes and decided too much FBC! So, my short answer; I put up a 75 meter full wave loop and joined the AM crowd @ 3.870. Short note, I do hear some carriers on 7.293MHz and I think they are So-Cal station on AM. 73's wd8kdg Craig From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Macklin Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2008 9:52 AM To: AM Radio Subject: [AMRadio] Why Only 75M Why does AM operation seem to be limited to 75M only. When I moved to this location 5 years ago I was able to hear the So. Cal. AM group on 14286 in the late afternoon. But about one year later all I ever heard there is SSB. What's wrong with 40M AM. Am I just listening at the wrong time? Bob Macklin K5MYJ Kent (Seattle), Wa, "Real Radios Glow in the Dark"
