Title: 15 Meter AM
Post by: Traveling Wave on December 29, 2022, 1602 UTC
1600 UTC - Hearing CT1EHI (Portugal) working W0RPR (Minnesota) on 21.452 Mhz.  The Portugal station was S9 in WNY but conditions changed and both stations are in the noise.
1607 UTC - CT1EHI is still on frequency but in and out of the noise.
1608 UTC - KN9K (Arizona) now working CT1EHI.
1624 UTC - CT1EHI signal came back up now S7-S9 in WNY.
1631 UTC - Signal is gone.

Huh.. Speaking of AM, looks like the AM Rally is earlier this year, just after GHD:   http://www.amrally.com/  Hopefully, 20M, on up, will be rockinī this year. Question is, can they ever get anyone to agree on a 2M AM FREQ? I havenīt heard anything about W1AW doing the event, yet. And, anyone got word on that Heavy Metal AM Rally. Those are fun, if you can catch when they are.

2215 UTC - Heard station WB5IRI in Texas working the east coast today on 21.420 AM.  He had a solid S9 signal and good AM audio from his IC-7610. Waited my turn and worked him with my 25 watt carrier. He gave me an S8 signal report, had a good QSO until the band dropped out.
