KJ4DJF, first, what is your name? It is always good to have a name to direct comments to.
I'm interested also in finding out what your 200 w. AM transceiver is. I am not familiar with any recent ham rig that is a 200 w. transceiver but I am not closely following the new gear now. What you write about operating may be true part of the time, but if you have a signal that can be heard, most AM ops will recognize you without too much delay. Unless you have a very poor antenna, 200 w. should be pretty good copy on 75 meters. That's about what a Valiant puts out. You could find a clear frequency and call CQ. Give us a bit more information like frequencies you have tried to operate on, and what you are using for an antenna and rig. I promise people will be eager to work you. There is little or no cliquishness in AM. 73 Rob K5UJ On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 6:02 PM, <kj4...@aol.com> wrote: > > I read an article about AM use in the ham bands in a recent QST magazine and > was intrigued. > > The article even gave the favorite AM freqs.
