Subject: [Gonset] Collins Collectors Assoc. First Wednesday AM Night 
May 3rd!


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


Wednesday May 3rd 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

Interesting - it looks like a common pallet and pallet jack.
Still a lot nicer than using 4 hams and a boy scout!

[AMRadio] Radio Boys - 4 books needed

2006-04-30 Thread VJB
Does anyone have doubles or would otherwise like to
sell the following titles in the Radio Boys series of
juvenile books by Allen Chapman.

Paying a fair price to complete my collection.

--In the Gold Valley (1927)

--Aiding the Snow Bound (1928)

--On the Pacific (1929)

--To the Rescue (1930)

I have for sale or trade a duplicate of First
Wireless, the first title in the series (1923), in
fair condition.

Thanks
Paul/VJB
