How do you figure that, Bob? Someone prefers not to upgrade to a

Tough conditions tonight, Brian. Sounds at least as bad on your end,
but surprisingly I was hearing you much better up here. Even Paul was
down over last night.
Looking forward to quieter times and some good, long haul AM. Working

Guess I had better get out the manual. Have no clue what a transverter is.
Good luck and be sure you are in CW mode (no Mics!!)
How bout AM with the audio turned all the way down? CW

Those of us who depend on the upper hf bands for much of our AM operation
due to limited power or antennas are eagerly awaiting better conditions on
15 and 10 meters.
Since 15 meters will become more useable first, and since the General
allocation on that band will soon increase by 25 khz, le

Hello Jack: My TS-430 works OK as a VFO. You should make a 5 to 10 Watt
attenuator to insure that the output is terminated correctly. A better way is
to use the "Transverter" jack (socket) on the back of the 430. The
output level
is only 50 mW and is 50 Ohms. The transverter output may not dr

Is there any reason why one could/should not use a rice box as a vfo on
a simple rig like the Knight T60 or any other for that matter.
Assuming we get the output down to an appropriate level, it would seem
like a neat way doing things.

Look at the function switch on most modern HF transceivers, Bob.
There is usually a position marked "AM."

Actually no, AM has been used in the region of 3837 kHz
for some time, and down around 7160 kHz too - hardly the
to of the band. Why do you think it is wrong?

Sorry Clay - I cannot grant your wish.
DX stations all ove rthe world buy crystals from me.
Besides I only have ONE crystal on 3790 kHz.
Perhaps sanctions would work? (grin!)

Bob,
Your reply is appreciated. One of my pet peeves is that this topic seems to
always be presented in a "shoot the messenger" mentality. I did not write
the rules but have to live with them. If anyone has any angst about this
topic it should be referred to the FCC and ARRL as you mentioned, not

Some where around here I have a mid 1970s license manual. The last time I

As a former technical person, I liked the old tests because they did not ask

The other alternative could be, no input to any band plan; AM is phone;
I'll operate phone wherever my license privileges allow and deal with my
adjacent frequencies on a case by case basis.
Putting a band plan with AM related info on an AM only web site, means
