[AMRadio] Collins Collectors Assoc. First Wed. AM Night Jan 4th!

2006-01-02 Thread Larry WA9VRH

Happy New Year to all!

FIRST WEDNESDAY AM NIGHT!!! Sponsored by the Collins Collectors 
Association.


Wednesday January 4th on 3880 kcs at 7:00 PM local East Coast time 
marks the start of the latest chapter of First Wednesday AM Night, 
drawing hundreds of vintage stations from across the country.


The event is anchored by a tall ship AM station in each time zone. 
The East Coast and Central sections will now run for 90 minutes in 
response to the tremendous participation in those time zones. The 
remaining time zones will be an hour. We encourage stations to check-in 
on AM using Collins and other AM transmitters, new and old.  It's an 
opportunity to revel in this nostalgic mode, enjoy giving vintage 
equipment a run, and sharing some storytelling about classic vacuum 
tube homebrew and commercial designs. Typically more than a hundred 
stations take part in the evening's coast-to-coast AM event; by the 
time it concludes at 10:00 PM Local PST.


LISTEN for the following anchors and stop by to say hello, won't you? 
You don't have to be running Collins or vintage gear to be welcomed 
into the group.


7:00 PM-8:30 PM Local East Coast Time Anchor:  Bob W0YVA

7:30 PM-9:00 PM Local Central Time Anchor:  Jim W0NKL

8:00 PM-9:00 PM Local Mountain Time Anchor: Jim WA0LSB

8:00 PM-9:00 PM Local West Coast Time Anchor:  Bill N6PY

2006-01-02 Thread Chuck
Greetings,
   
  I am in need of two 1/4 shaft couplers. Nothing exotic, the barrel type 
will work fine. Thanks.

[AMRadio] 15 10 Meters

2006-01-02 Thread Mike Duke, K5XU
Europe and the east coast are all over 15 here this morning.

I'm also hearing the 3 watt 10 meter beacon from VE1, Henry Island, on 
28.271 at 559 with qsb.

Perhaps some of us can make AM contacts on at least 15 today since 80 and 40 
are useless here today due to qrn.
