The Rochester Hamfest is coming up soon, June 2-3-4 at the Monroe County
Fairgrounds, RT 15A, Rochester, NY. There is always a huge display of products
and an expansive outdoor flea market. It's the largest hamfest I know of in
the Western New York area. Hope to see some of you there.
73,
I have had BAMA ask me for a username and password (with Internet Explorer),
then a couple hours later it didn't require it. Seems to be an intermittent
thing. Give it another try.

What does any of this K1MAN/W1AW stuff have to do with AM discussion? Let's
get back on track here folks. I've already had two people leave the list
today.
K1MAN was a major source of QRM on 75 meter AM in the northeast with his
seemingly endless broadcasts, so to me the subject has quite a

signals take up WAY less bandwidth than the

How true!

I still have all my received cards since 1964, and would be happy to swap for
one of my original QSLs. My original call was WN2QEV, then WB2QEV.

In the mid 70's when I was still living with my parents, I fired up my
newly-built SB-220 amplifier and put it on the air for a while. The next day
our next door neighbor told me that I was causing his bathroom lights to glow
on and off whenever I transmitted.

Hi Bob,
I recently turned 55, so I'm your elder by half a year. I had a nice HT-37 in
the late 60's and early 70's paired up with a Drake 2B, a popular combination
back then. I sold the HT-37 in '73 after getting out of the Air Force to buy a
new Yaesu FT-101E. Wish I still had it now.
That's right, the 40 meter novice band in the 60's was from 7150 to 7200. The
phone band was smaller then, from 7200 to 7300. I can't remember the exact
xtal frequencies, but I sure had a lot of fun on CW as WN2QEV in 1964/1965. At
first I had to ask people to QRS, but after a short time it
I believe it was changed sometime in the mid-70's when the 40 meter phone band
was expanded.

Geoff,
I think you are right about it being only 50kc wide. I don't know when
they changed but in the early 60's it was from 7150 to 7200. My one and
only crystal then was 7175 kc. You
Thought I would post it here in case anybody missed it. Sounds like fun.

Don,
How did you get your dipole up 110 feet? Is it strung between towers, or do
you have some gigantic trees in your yard? It took me a long time just to
get mine up 35-40 feet up in my trees using a slingshot-fishing reel combo.

I don't think the AM Window would be so bad if it was a little wider, like
around 40 or 50 KHZ. Right now it seems like the most you can have in the
20 KHZ window is 3 simultaneous AM QSO's without having overlap. When K1MAN
is on, that number gets knocked down to 1 or 2. Of course, the
The transmitter is in Belgrade Lakes, Maine. It appears to be operated by
remote control from an undisclosed location.

That's right, some of those numbers were used for loop-around transmission
testing of trunk circuits. Having been in the telecommunications industry
for 30+ years, I remember many times hearing kid's conversations when we
tried to use them for their intended purpose. After listening to them for
I think I will try a couple of the 40 meter AM nets this weekend with my 100
watt Apache.
I sometimes listen to 75 meter AM during the evening, and all I hear are the
same big guns in a rountable and I don't know if they welcome low power
outsiders.
