W5OMR (Bigfoot) has been running 75M.A.M. mobile for years down here in TX. Sent me some pics of his present mobile rig, a Johnson Viking II hooked to a honkin' inverter in his Ford F150 truck. Goeff is a "hotshot" driver, so most of his radio time is mobile. I listen for him every morning on 3.880. Have also talked to Sammy(W5DPP) mobile on A.M., so it's not totally extinct.HI Guess I need to look for an AF-68 or something? AD5HR, Jon p.s. listen for K0CXX, Bill. He has a 20-v3 with Buck Owens' original 1950's audio set-up from his first A.M station in Bakersfield, sounds GREAT. Check him out on QRZ, quite the Collins collector
