Welcome Charlie, In AZ there are several stations that operate in the mornings on 160. Or at least they did in past years. Frequency was 1.885. Two who I know are Gary/W7GMK in Vail and Lock/W1ZD in Phoenix. Great guys to have around for a nice QSO. There are many others in that neighborhood, Dennis/W7QHO but I have never heard Dennis on 160. I have worked him on 75 and 40 meters both. You are in good company and there are others in that area that haunt this group.
You are in a better location to work the west coast guys and some of them will come along and give you frequencies. Other than that welcome and just be yourself. Most of the guys in the South and Southwest do the roundtable thing with transmissions lasting from 1 minute to 5 and in a few cases more than that. In the NE they use a lot of break-in type of operation. Just give the call of the station to transmission and your call when you cease transmitting so everyone will know you are through. Other than that welcome aboard. 73 Jim/W5JO ----- Original Message ----- > > Hello all, > > I have just humbly joined the AMRadio mailing list as a nubie although > have > been hamming since 1963. > I have recently got the bug to get back on AM again after many many > years > and have Ranger II > which I am preparing to go on the air with soon (plan to operate > mostly on > 75 and 160). > > So, I need to learn all the rules and want to be a good "AM citizen". > Will > appreciate any > pointers to get me off to the right start. > > Thanks and best 73 to all > > Charlie > W7CRK > Mesa, Arizona ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
