What type of transceiver do you have? I'm assuming from the above that you probably have a modern all-mode HF transceiver that includes AM capability. The good news is, many of them can be made to sound terrific. The bad news is, some are pretty fussy to get set up right, and if the ratio of carrier to audio isn't correct, can really sound awful - to the point that they are unintelligible to someone listening on an AM receiver. So, just as a suggestion, I'd make sure that your radio is set to produce good quality AM first. A local ham with AM receive capability could help you out. The amount of RF power shown on the meter is not as high as you might expect, but even a good sounding 25 to 50 watt AM signal will get you plenty of contacts. 73, Bob W9RAN ______________________________________________________________ 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.
