[AMRadio] The zeal to eliminate AM mode on the amateur bands.
Having only been active on AM mode for just two short years, I consider myself to still be a newbie, still not understanding the zeal and fervor by some in the amateur community to eliminate or totally outlaw the use of AM mode transmissions in the MF/HF amateur bands in the USA. ...As quoted by one person like using spark-gap. I look at AM communications as just one of the earlier modes, something to be preserved, not cast aside. Could someone more familiar with the issue please give me a better understanding of why these people are so intent to get rid of this mode? 73, Mark Cobbeldick, KB4CVN Monroe, VA __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [AMRadio] Don't forget 10 Meters
From my QTH in Central Virginia, I worked via 10m into CT and Dallas-Fort Worth last week during lunchtime while in the mobile. Condx finally starting to improve. 73, Mark Cobbeldick, KB4CVN Monroe, VA FM07jo Message: 1 Date: Sat, 21 May 2005 09:16:34 -0500 From: Mike Duke, K5XU [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [AMRadio] Don't forget 10 Meters To: Discussion of AM Radio amradio@mailman.qth.net The 10 meter E season has begun. On Thursday and Friday of this week, I made an AM contact each day near 6 PM on 29.0 with my HTX10. Yesterday, I heard 3 other AM stations, but had a dinner engagement, and was unable to stay near the rig. Remember to check 29.0 often during the summer E season. Don't just listen; occasionally identify or call cq. If we all only listen, we'll all hear nothing. Also remember that if 10 is open even marginly, 15 will also be open. See you on the bands.
