Hi All, Well, these days anymore, it seems, it's tough enough to garner even just one single response to an AM CQ call on 7290-KHz, never-mind generating any sort of a huge roundtable...!
The latter USED to be the norm on 40, but no longer...heck, I don't even hear Ashtabula Bill there anymore, and he used to be a staple item on the band. Has EVERYONE suddenly taken-up stamp collecting, or something...?! ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ********************************* ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernie Doran" <qedconsulta...@embarqmail.com> To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" <amradio@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 5:54 AM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Open vs Closed QSOs > Maybe some people just like to complain about friendly people joining in on > the QSO, they probably do not like cellphones going off in a restaurant or > theater, or the friendly sales people that call on the telephone a dinner > time.. > > I greatly favor one on one and usually ignor breaker stations.
