Re: [AMRadio] 10 & 15 Meter Gathering
Great idea. I should be able to be around that time both days this weekend. I'll check 15 first, since it will be more likely to open, and alternate between 15 and 10 every 10 minutes or so until I find a qso.

[AMRadio] 10 & 15 Meter Gathering
Those of us that like 10 and 15 meter AM know that a) the bands aren't great this time of the cycle and that b) when they are decent nobody's on AM as they don't think the band's open! This is evident during contests when there's CW or SSB activity but you can go hoarse calling CQ on the AM calling freqs!!Monitoring those frequencies is OK, but that's not practical for me over anything but short periods of time. To facilitate activity on 10 and 15, what y'all think of establishing a weekly activity time? Say 3 PM EDT Saturdays and Sundays on 10 and 15 (29.0 and 21.425) ? Nothing formal, no net control nonsense etc. Just a time when folks would know there's a higher probability of catching a fellow AM'er on the band? Comments welcome. 73 Mark K3MSB __ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net
