Or get on in the evenings with the rest of us. 75 tends to die in the
afternoons before coming back to life in the evening. Many daytime
AMers use 40, then switch to 75 later.

Of course, many of us have to actually get stuff done outside before
the wx gets colder too, as you noted.

[AMRadio] 75 Meter Contact

2006-10-15 Thread david knepper
Called CQ on 3880 Khz this afternoon and thank goodness on my 5th attempt a 
very nice gentleman from Fort Washington, Maryland called me on "slop 
bucket" - I mean SSB.  I caught my call and quickly turned the emission 
control on my Collins 75A-1 to CW to make contact.  He switched his rice box 
to AM and we had a very delightful QSO on two-way AM.


Perhaps, I need to turn on my BFO from now on since the AMers were obviously 
outside enjoying the nice Autumn day!
