Hello AM Lovers,
Today second Eastern Day!

But first this morning I thought: I am dreaming... hi, hi....
Because I heard Chuck K1KW around 07:00 hour by me in our livingroom.
On my Kenwood R-5000 with a good signal and audio.
After I heard him, I sent him a little recording made by mobile phone.

Then I walked (run ;D) to my studio and heard him there.
My Allbander, Yeasu FT 901 DM, were warming up...
But..... I got only low power from it, around 5 Watt.
Suddenly I know why, 7290 is NOT in our 40 meter band...
So I take small 'screwdriver' to turn capacitor, and I got 15 Watts Carrier!
With modulation to +/- 20 - 25 Watts.
I calling Chuch, who talks with another station.
That unknow station I could not heard...

I did falling nearly from my chair... hi, hi...
Chuck heard me, pe1mph!
So we had a nice talk, and readers....
I hear only him, NO ssb or BC station.
Chuck had by my S6 to S8 and totaly no problem to hear him!!

Fast I sent some App's to my AM Friends in Holland.
Some listen, and the heard Chuck (not me)....
Yes I know, we may not use that freq. in Holland...
But I want to try if I could make a qso with Chuck!

Many years back on an evening I test this with: Ken and Brend.
That were on 7160 khz in AM, I heard both.... they heard not me.
But this Eastern morning, a big surprice... hi, hi....

I am not sure I can download a recording by this news....
Maybe the are to big.... hi, hi....

Hello AM Lovers,
This morning a little past 6 o'clock I listen in our livingroom.
(6 hour Summertime by me = 4 GMT time)

I heard 2 stations on 7290 khz in AM:

- KB3RDT ? Carl? signal fair to good
- KJ2PBT ? signal weak to fair

Sorry, I am not 100% sure about their calls.
Often they mention it to fast for me...

One station on 7290 told: they were talking very long this morning ;D

The freq. 7290 (and 7295) were totaly clean by me.
No BC station during that time on the same freq.

Next days I keep my ears & eyes again on 40 meters.
Just before I go to my work.
