Re: [AMRadio] Frequency Question
Well, everyone told me that they wanted 3675, 3685 and 3735 kHz for AM operating frequencies, so those are what I have made up. If there is any demand for 3710 and 3725 I suppose I could make some of those too, but so far there is no interest. 73 - Brian, AF4K It's 3725. I hear them up here in Wisconsin quite a bit.

Re: [AMRadio] Frequency Question
Hi Jim, It's kind of hard to do, with me living in an apartment. I will check my antenna connection for weathering though. Basically, I'm using the rain gutter (it's 125-150 feet long, and 3 stories up, facing east west). On 20 above it performs pretty well (one of the reasons why I've been one of the posters on AM Fone for working 6 10m AM). On 40 lower - well it depends upon condx. I've been thinking off and on about getting or building an amp (but if I build one, I'd need a ready made chassis, I don't have the tools or the place to be working with metal), so I can make up a bit, for my antenna deficit. But, I have concerns about amp usage, earning me the Worked All Neighbors award for my apartment building. 73, Ellen - AF9J Jim Wilhite [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ellen did you ever get the antenna up good so we can hear you down here with the Scout?

We don't really seem to have much of a 'problem' here, in that regard. I guess because we're more 's p r e a d - o u t' here in the Southland, as opposed to everyone being 'allbuncheduptogether' in the north east. There doesn't seem to be -that- many hams that densely populate the so-called 'Window' around here. But, I -have- driven in the North East, and even worked some folks while mobile (Don/K4KYV noteably) while I was traipsing across Canada, and got a chance to listen to 3.870 ~ 3.890... back when K1MAN still had a 'legal' license, and was doing his broadcast thing. I can certainly see why the term 'ghetto' was coined, to describe 3.870 ~ 3.890Mc. I'm just glad we don't have that same problem here. The northern Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas folk, for the most part, stay up on 3.890... South Texans hang out on 3.880 and we all seem to get along. The Southeasterners (that are on AM) tend to gather around 3.885, and those poor folks in Colorado operate wherever they can. I can't hear 'em in South Texas (at this time) but I'm sure it won't be long before KD0PD and the rest of 'em come rolling in again into Texas in the early morning hours, when winter-time conditions move this far south. -- Driving your AM Rig without a scope, is like driving your car at night, without headlights.

Re: [AMRadio] Frequency Question
Well Ellen, I have had that award for many years, back in the early 70s it was. Most were nice about it and we cleared the problems. Others were not so nice and I ignored them as much as possible. If you are having troubles with a Scout then a 200 watt amp won't do much more than widen the circle a bit. I say go for it and deal with the troubles as they occur. As for an amp, look for a Heath SB 200. Runs real well at the 150 watt level and is Class B. They can be had for reasonable bucks and there is no issue of having to find a chassis, case and all the parts. Jim/W5JO Hi Jim, It's kind of hard to do, with me living in an apartment.

Re: [AMRadio] Frequency Question
Hi Ellen, Guess I would think a screwdriver on the roof would be un-noticeable to most but then your landlord has to deal with all the people. Tough spot you are in. I remember when I bought my first house in Peoria. I put up my 40 foot self supporting tower and didn't put antenna's on it. Had two people complain that I was messing up their TV reception. I asked them to come to the back yard and see this was only a tower. Then three weeks later I put the TA-33, 5 element 6m beam and a 2 meter vertical on top. The feed lines were tucked up under the deck and never got close to the inside of the house. Again a couple of people complained about my station interfering with their TV. Once again I invited them to the back yard to see the cables were not inside the house and there we no connectors on them. A few weeks later I ran the cables in the house and put connectors on and operated for probably 16 years before we moved with no complaints. We moved to the country and when I put up my new 55 foot crank up tower I did the exact same process. 15 years later I still have not had a complaint except from my wife when I wipe out the satellite TV. :) Good luck on your antenna project. 73 Larry WA9VRH - Original Message - From: Ellen Rugowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service amradio@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 8:03 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Frequency Question Hi Larry, Actually I live on the 2nd floor, but my antenna is basically on the the 3rd floor level (the building only has 2 floors).

Re: [AMRadio] Frequency Question
There is a group in Louisiana that meets on 3663 several times a week. I sometimes hear them finishing up just as I get in from work. They are generally done by 5 or shortly after. I think they also meet some during the morning, but I'm not sure when. Some days they are on ssb. I also hear Louie out of Arkansas, along with some of the same Louisiana bunch on 7160 around mid afternoon on Saturday or Sunday, but not every week. When the 75 meter phone band first expanded, I heard some activity on 3685, 3710, and 3730. However, I have been battling a very noisy power pole lightning arrester since April, so I really can't address whose where down there right now. Hopefully Entergy will make good on their promise to replace the defective unit soon, and I'll be able to hear beyond my back fence again in time for the fall season.

Re: [AMRadio] Frequency Question
If I remember, that is the Canadian gathering frequency. It might be difficult to hear some of the guys until winter gets here.

Re: [AMRadio] Frequency Question
A bunch of people agreed to try AM on 3675, 3685 and 3735 kHz. So I built up a number of crystals for those three spots. After an initial burst of interst and several folks getting them, I have not hear much lately. So it was a bit of a bust so far. You can count on finding at least a few AMers on those three frequencies though... I continue to have these other crystals available too: 3615, 3625, 3645, 3655, 3675, 3685 kHz 3686, 3700, 3702, 3703, 3704, 3705, 3716, 3721, 3735, 3739, 3746, 3800, 3805 kHz and a number of others just above 3800 kHz 73 to all - Brian Bob Peters wrote: What other AM Freq are used in the Texas, La, Ark area other then What I know of 80, 85, 90...Are there any established otherwise or active down under???
