Re: [AMRadio] Any AM ops in my area?
Todd, my first thoughts after reading your message. 1. If you can find someone in your area that would be great. 2. If not start reading, and ask questions. (This is how I learned) 3. HV is not something you should be afraid of, it is however something you need to understand and respect.

Re: [AMRadio] deliberate encroachment
Bernie, I am not interested in making an enemy out of you. I'm just trying to make a point that being on 3887, is contrary to the way most all AM'ers operate and to be on an odd frequency like 3887 will only cause QRM to the guys on 3885 and 3890. I will leave it at that, and so no more.

Re: [AMRadio] deliberate encroachment
Because, Some guys are rock bound. It is normal operating procedure that AM op's take place at 3880, 3885, 3890. No one buys a rock to operated a vintage transmitter at 3887. You can say what you want the bottom line is this. the net control for the Military net should have done a better job, and no one should start a Q on 3887 the middle of the road. To do so is just not understanding what your doing. sbjohns...@aol.com wrote: >> If you were on the air first, the net control should have asked you to >> > move up > >> a bit, as the net was about to start. >> > > Hmmm... why not shift the net down?

Re: [AMRadio] deliberate encroachment
I said that a tad wrong, your not hogging 10kc, but it's like driving on a two lane highway, there are two lanes, and your driving down the middle, sure your only using one lane width, but no one else can use the road. Sure the net control should have handled it better, but you should not have been in the middle of the road. Dave W9WRL.com Bernie Doran wrote: > Nope I was on AM.

Re: [AMRadio] deliberate encroachment
I did not say anything about there being any assigned frequency. If you were on the air first, the net control should have asked you to move up a bit, as the net was about to start. At the same time, the correct thing for you would have been either to be on 3880, 3885, or 3890. not 3887. If you operated on 3887 you are now hogging 10kc of bandwidth. With you on on 3887 no one can use either 3885 or 3890. Keeping on even frequencys on 3880, 3885, 3890 allows all of use space to operate. Dave W9WRL.com Bernie Doran wrote: > Nope I was on AM.

Re: [AMRadio] deliberate encroachment
Bernie and John. The Military net is a group of hams that operate Military radios. This net has been around for years. Bernie, sounds like you were on SSB, while there are no laws about where you can operate 3880 to 3890 is designated as the AM window where AM operators operate. If someone is using SSB here they should not be, simple as that.

Re: [AMRadio] antennas
I buy a product that is sold at a local mobile home supply store. It's the same thing as coax seal. It comes in a 1 inch by 25ft long roll. $16.00, it's also a little thicker than coax seal.

I have seen these numbers and they are skewed in some way. I recall an article a few months ago that explained these numbers, as I recall these numbers count all the vanity and and call sign changes.

Re: [AMRadio] Good or bad?
Look at it this way, these types of people getting a ham ticket are not in most all likely hood going to become serious hams, but they do count in the numbers game. So I would rather have their numbers than not, in case you have not noticed the numbers of hams is going down not up. While I agree that getting a ham license today is way to easy, if it was not, then there would be darn few of us left.

Re: [AMRadio] Tower advice
Todd, I have built several towers like your talking about. If you do as you have said you will not have any troubles. Here is how the base should be made, keep in mind your soil type has something to do with the depth of the base. Here in Illinois I would dig the base 20 inches square and four feet deep. I then drive four 4ft long by 1/2 or lager rebar straight down in the bottom of the hole drive these three feet down keeping them apart so that you tower section will set in between the rebar, then drive a few more 4ft 1/2 rebar sections at a 45 into the sides of the hole. But about 6 inches of rock in the bottom, this will allow the water that WILL get into the tower section legs to drain, if they don't drain the tower legs will split when the water in the legs freezes. This base will hole a 35ft tower and tribander without any guys. I have one just like this that stood up to 96 miles per hours winds at my place last summer. No guys. if you have room for the guys then you should have one set, two sets is better but one will hold it.

Re: [AMRadio] Question about Seller of Viking II's on the Auction site
I have no experience with radiomart, but I've never heard anything good and have heard tons of bad. Seems to me that with all the bad things we've all heard about him, a smart man would stay clear.
