Sad to say but I just experienced the worst case scenario with a fire
in the business below my workshop downtown here on the 21st.
The previous night I had heard a nasty arcing noise while listening to
75 mtrs. It was not constant enough to locate but by its strength and
type knew it

There is daily operation on 3870 here in the Pacific
Northwest. Similarly , many of us
operate AM on 7290 during daytime hours. I have
especially enjoyed mobile operation
on 7290 AM with my IC706MK2G. I continually get
extremely good audio reports
with that rig on AM from the Tahoe. If you don't h
Hello Robert --
There is absolutely nothing wrong with operating modes other than AM.
I do a heck of a lot of CW on HF, and my VHF is split between CW and
SSB.
Not only is it OK to work other modes, it's quite OK to contest and
chase DX too!!
I've not done very much 75 AM over the past few yea
Heavens!! Is there an extra penalty if you were caught on CW ??
(10 demerits for using a J-38)
(10 demerits for using a bug)
(5 demerits for using a keyer)
(25 demerits for using a computer !!)
Do numbers show bias??

Thanks Bob
If you have time listen tonight, it's the weekly AMI net and usually we have
30 plus stations checking in from around the Western States on 3870. Warm
up begins at 7:00 PM, Net begins at 8:00 PM and round table after net.
Come on down, the water is warm...
All the Best

Thanks Ron,
I will put my SB-301 on these frequencies for a couple weeks and see if I
can hear anything.

I enjoy being seen as someone who won't run SSB. Of
course I'm not that serious about it, not as if it
would violate religion or something, but there's a
certain comfort I get from authentically representing
AM as a preferred mode and activity in the radio
hobby.
In order to do that, I devote my
Thanks to those who offered great information about using various noise
canceling systems.
Today my power company was at last able to speak directly with the owner
of the home where my noise is originating.
The home owner and I were able to determine which breaker causes the noise
to disappear.
My data base shows the following contacts in 1952:
KN2AIW, KN2AQV, KN2AZP, KN2BDA, and KN2AHF
Wonder where these folks are today...

Todd, I have my Extra book open every day, now I have more reason :) I didn't
mean to imply I commonly hear things like AMers telling SS rig operators to go
get a proper rig, just that I was really surprised to hear that on the air,

I consistently work PNW AM stations on 3870 each week. During the winter
months propagation lengthens out and we can copy the PNW gang after 8:00PM
local time.
On 40 meters you will find a lot of AM stations in California, Arizona and
Oregon almost every day on 7293 starting about 10:00 AM l
I used to hear the PNW AM group on 3870 but I guess because of the solar cycle
they have dropped down into the noise.
I also used to hear the Calif. AM operators on 14.286. But it has been several
years since I have heard any 20M AM operation.
But what about 40M AM operation. Is there any 40M A
I also very rarely operate on 80 meters, partly because
some people there turn me off.
I am also not quick to blame ssb guys when they get to close,
their SSB rigs are often much better than old AM receivers, and they might
assume they are fine.
I know there are also people who jam on purpose, I
I operate AM because I enjoy the mode. Same goes for CW.
I also enjoy SSB, but sometimes operate it out of necessity rather than
simply for the pleasure.
Those individuals who feel threatened by the simple fact that another
amateur operates modes other than a given favorite need to get a life, or

Hi Max,
If you could, I invite you and the others on that side of the pond to
try looking for AM on 160M around 1885, 1945, and I think there is some near
1985. It would be nothing short of a thrill working AM across the Atlantic

I have to agree that was a completely rude way to be treated Bob. Get on

I, too am one of the 3890 am'ers in the mornings. I think I can assure u most
of us operate more than just AM. I'll admitt I operate mostly AM but also some
ssb and cw. Most of my equipment is BA stuff. My ssb rig is now called a
Classic. Ham Radio is a hobby and should be used for enjoymen
That is just one of the reasons I rarely operate on 75 AM. There may be some
great technical people on there but way too many personalities that would be
better off in a nursing home.
There are simply too many other bands to enjoy AM.
