I seriously doubt that the pricing of the amateur transceivers on the

I have been watching the sales of BoatAnchor AM receivers and transmitters
on ebay. I can't afford them anymore. But 10 years ago you could not give
them away!
But I am still not hearing any AM hear in Puget Sound.

Clarifier is what the contol on my Uniden AM/SSB tranceiver I used to use
when we went camping.
I put it up last year to see if there was any local CB activity to see what
the conditions for 10M AM might be. The 11M band was just as dead as
everyting else. And local acifity is not a function of th

I wasn't around for that time, though my Dad remembered it and used
to talk about it a bit. Of course, when I got my ticket, I used his
equipment. The rx was a Hammarlund HQ-170A and I learned to tune in
SSB using a BFO. I have always arrogantly sneered at the term
"clarifier," believing it to
In this period AM was the predominant phone mode period. SSB was the new kid
on the block. And most of us were receiving SSB on normal (non-SSB)
recievers by tweaking the BFO.
Now they make SSB rigs with a "CLARIFER". I guse that is just an adjustble

Bob and all...I remember back in 1958 that we had a CD Unit in Bangor,
Maine and we all had 10 Watt
transmitters on 29.520 and we would have a transmitter hunt every
Wednesday night. Many times guys from Australia, New Zeeland and other
countries would break in for signal reports and say they coul
Do I remember correctly.
During the HOT TIME in 1957/58 people in the States were working Austraila on
10M with low power transmitter. gennerally 25w or less.
That was also the period of the first Class D CB service. And even CBers were
working Austrailia on 5W.
At that time 10M was a common m

What happened to the AM calling windows on 1885, 3885, and especially 7290
which is now an emergency frequency?? I am on 7290 quite a bit on AM. You
