But, I have no idea what sort of operation is going on!! heard no AM so went to ssb, worked a fla station that would not say more than five or six words, then nothing. another w2ggi, was calling cq or qrz, he would come back with w8r?? your 5x9 missed your name and qth, then next exchange would be thanks, qrz!!. I hope that as more do move up to ten this sillyness will abate. Yes, I do undestand that some may be new and not comfortable, so I do try and draw them out with the usual questions, antenna, gear, weather, what are you hearing etc etc. but it just does not seem to work on ten. Bernie W8RPW Hi Bernie, Maybe it was just not good into your location, I worked a bunch of folks yesterday on 10cw, psk, and olivia. Made several contacts on 10 ssb. Called CQ on 29.0 AM several times but didn't hear anyone. Maybe today, though!

Re: [AMRadio] Heath info

ModsDK has Heath manuals or schematics for just about all the ham gear Heath ever made. They also have a lot for other ham stuff like BAMA does. But for ModsDK, you just have to register to access them. Charlie, W4MEC I'm lost on this one...has Heath stuff been removed for some reason?

Re: [AMRadio] Comment from N0JEF
Man - didn't mean to stir the pot THAT much. lol But thanks for the replies. I run a Kenwood TS-480HX. (I can hear the groans from the boat anchor crowd) haha The 480hx is a 200 watt radio with a 50 watt carrier on AM and shows 200 watts pep on an external watt meter while modulating. My name is Jeff. I am in Clearwater Florida. The email has my old call. My vanity is N0JEF. 73, Jeff Hey Jeff, Let's get on 40m this coming saturday and yap a bit to see how it's running. I'll be off during the day on Sat, and 40 would be a good band to work from NC to you.

Re: [AMRadio] Comment from N0JEF
At 06:30 PM 2/10/2010 -0600, you wrote: KJ4DJF, first, what is your name? It is always good to have a name to direct comments to. I'm interested also in finding out what your 200 w. AM transceiver is. I am not familiar with any recent ham rig that is a 200 w. transceiver but I am not closely following the new gear now. What you write about operating may be true part of the time, but if you have a signal that can be heard, most AM ops will recognize you without too much delay. Unless you have a very poor antenna, 200 w. should be pretty good copy on 75 meters. That's about what a Valiant puts out. You could find a clear frequency and call CQ. Give us a bit more information like frequencies you have tried to operate on, and what you are using for an antenna and rig. I promise people will be eager to work you. There is little or no cliquishness in AM. I'd been off the air for several years, got my old Heath station up and running at about 15 watts, tossed my call in the pile a few times until I was heard, and was in a huge round table on 3.885 in no time. I love AM...
