   W5OMR (Bigfoot) has been running 75M.A.M. mobile for years
  down here in TX.
   Sent me some pics of his present mobile rig, a Johnson
  Viking II hooked to a honkin' inverter in his Ford F150
  truck.
   Goeff is a hotshot driver, so most of his radio time
  is mobile.
   I listen for him every morning on 3.880.
   Have also talked to Sammy(W5DPP) mobile on A.M., so it's
  not totally extinct.HI
   Guess I need to look for an AF-68 or something?
 AD5HR, Jon
   p.s.  listen for K0CXX, Bill. He has a 20-v3 with
 Buck Owens' original 1950's audio set-up from
 his first A.M  station in Bakersfield, sounds
 GREAT. Check him out on QRZ, quite the Collins
 collector

  Hi Larry: what a dinosaur!!! you might even
 be older that I am. I have
  not heard an 80 AM station since 1950s. but that
 sure qualifies for a few
  feet. I wonder if anyone ever thought there was
 something wrong with
  their xmtr. bet you could tell them that you are
 setting it for side band
  the way TV does!! Bernie

  There have been some interesting cases
 with short loaded antennas
  in the BC band, the bandwidth has
 occasionally been so narrow that the
  AM
  sidebands become attenuated! Not
 going to see that effect in the
  amateur
  bands unless someone is running an antenna
 only a few feet long!!
 
  Correct. This has been observed on my 75M AM
 mobile signal, with reports
  of one sideband being attenuated relative to
 the other. Antenna is a
  Webster bandpanner (a few feet long).
