listen for the 3.870 group along the West Coast. Anyone would be happy

Since the band expansion some people have been moving about
some. Not nearly as much as I would like to see, but there
are places where AM turns up. One of the disadvantages you
have in trying to work back into he Central US is the time
zone.

Well not really hiding Todd. All the descriptions that have
been mentioned took a toll on us so we did something. We
run in spurts because of weather now. I had storms in the
area for 3 straight days then Brian had the pleasure.
So we haven't been on in the past few days. Also Brian is

I think the point has been made. I assume the AM community is a friendly
group. It would be nice to know where and when to look for the activity. For
40M the area is not very larg. byt for 80/75 thiereis a lot of space to
cover.

I meant 3870! that's another problem with being an OF!
OTOH, 3780 probably is a clear frequency most of the time!
A week or so ago W1AW was making in here on both 80M and 40M every eveing.
But not this week. And when it was I was not bright enough to try the know
AM frequencies.

I am not trying to say you should not move. My only problem is that when you
move to the Extra segment you exculed some of us.
And it is best if you are just waiting for activity, to monitor the
publised(established) calling frequency. If you have other established

That's what they call us. I guess we were lucky to start this hobby during
the best solar cycle on record. I did not know it was that good at the time.
People here in the States were working people in Austrailia with 5W on 10M!

I consider any phone frequency that is allowed by my license as an AM

I have no problem with people moving into the new area to get away from the
other problems.It just exculdes thos of us with General tickets.
I would think the thing to do is to use the AM message boards to establish
new frequencies to call or monitor. Just s
As Jim points out, you don't even have to go to the newly expanded
portions of 75. I haven't spent any real significant time around 3885 in
quite a long time to make AM contacts. I roll down to between 3820 and
3850, find a clear slot, and call a CQ. Lots of abundant AM contacts for
folks who have

I passed the General exam in 1957. At that time it was all RADIO theory. I
looked at the Extra question pool a couple years ago and lost interest.
There is too much compter stuff and satalite stuff. I did not see it worth
my my while for the kind of operating I wanted to do.
Bob, the General Class can operate down to 3.8. Some
activity between 3.8 and 3.880 would be good. The practical
answer is to make contact between 3.880 to 3.890 then move
either down or up to an open frequency.
