RE: [AMRadio] k1man fined
What does any of this K1MAN/W1AW stuff have to do with AM discussion? Let's get back on track here folks. I've already had two people leave the list today. K1MAN was a major source of QRM on 75 meter AM in the northeast with his seemingly endless broadcasts, so to me the subject has quite a lot to do with AM discussion. I think it's kind of silly to leave the list just because you don't like one of the topics. There are so many other interesting, informative and thought-provoking postings on this list that you would miss out on. I just ignore (or delete) the ones that don't really interest me. 73, Don W2DAS

RE: [AMRadio] Old Novice Days
That's right, the 40 meter novice band in the 60's was from 7150 to 7200. The phone band was smaller then, from 7200 to 7300. I can't remember the exact xtal frequencies, but I sure had a lot of fun on CW as WN2QEV in 1964/1965. At first I had to ask people to QRS, but after a short time it was no problem copying everybody. I shared a Heathkit DX-40 and KnightKit Star Roamer with my twin brother Al, WN2QEW/NE2D. Then we saved our pennies and bought a used Hallicrafters S-85 receiver, and discovered that 15 meters was far from being a dead band like it appeared to be with the Star Roamer.
