<< < (3/3)

Elf36:
I got busy doing things around the house. How did the AM rally go over the weekend? Any interesting contacts?

Traveling Wave:
All of my 25 contacts where on 40 meters in the eastern states. I heard other reports of 20 meters and 15 meters being open but I had no luck on those bands. One of the biggest signals on 40 meters was from K8JLY who operates 1930's vintage equipment. He is located in Ohio and operates out of the Historic Smith Mill which he owns. I was amazed how strong his signal was and how good his audio sounded. All in all it was fun event.

ThaDood:
The weather was the big competitor during the AM Rally for me. Projects that I wasn't able to get done the preceding weekend, I had to get done, then. So, I had only a 1hr window on Sunday evening and heard 3870kHz, 3873kHz, 3880kHz, and 3885kHz, AM all jammin' away. I didn't hear W1AW this year. No AM on 20M, but all SSB. 15M and 10M were dead by me. I heard a one-side QSO on 7290kHz. I also did a quick band-scan at 3AM SAT night / SUN morning, after work, and the bands were void of any AM then. Whelp... There's always the year after next.
