Canadians meet on 3725. 3725 is the nominal "calling frequency" down there.
There is a late afternoon net at 3733, and various stations on 3705, 3720
and area.

Unfortunately that sentiment is NOT felt by all. Some are inclined to
shift their operations below the general portion and chastise us that
are General Class.
I get one chance a year to test when the local club does its Hamfest.
Otherwise I have to travel around a hundred miles or so.

I hope something works out on 40 meters. Several moons ago, the late 70's &
early 80's, 40 meters was the band of choice for low powered rigs on the
east coast. At that time I was living in West By God Virginia and running a
DX100B for the TX and a NC300 for a set of ears. The antenna was

Hi Craig,
I know all about the PNW AM group on 3870. I have talked to John (K7RLD) by
email quite a bit.
But I had not heard any of them lately until yesterday. I may have been tuning
in too late. Yesterday they were only on between 4PM and 4:30PM.
I don't have an antenna that will work for tr
For about a year I have not heard anything on 40M except during contests.
Not even the SWBC stations.
Un that last couple of weeks I have been hearing the SWBC stations below 40M
and in the 7200 -7300 segment. That tells me that the propagation is
improving.

2 Meter AM last 2 weeks (target 144.320). 3 on air so far, others working.
7190 AM low power not a bad idea here if the broadcaster there really moves.

200uf is typically not enough capacitance for proper Q on 80 mtrs (maybe not
even 40 mtrs) even in and AB linear let alone class C so my guess is that it
had some fixed capacitors that got switched in to circuit to add to it.

That proved to me once and for all, that both the Extra class
licence and the 1X2 callsign format had lost what significance they might
ever have had, so I decided to hold on to my original callsign.

When I get severe QRM from slopbuckets, I always use my SSB rig to receive the
opposite
sideband. This allows me to receive the AM signal I'm talking to, while
eliminating the
SSB QRM. Of course this requires the use of a receiver with a product detector
and
filters.
