15 Meter AM
« 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.

Re: 15 Meter AM? And, AM Rally for 2/2023?
« Reply #1 on: January 02, 2023, 1939 UTC »
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.   
I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

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.
