The AM Forum

Just made contact with two Wales stations GW8TBG and GW4GTE.  The GTE station was 20 over and had great audio. :D

Grrr I need to be weed eating.... :o

Yes, just worked the following in the last 20 mins:

SM5ISM
I5HGM
SP9UOS
SQ9JXI
SP9QZI
I0DFH
DL5OCD

On AM?............

Yes, 29000-29030khz

Yep, AM   8)

very cool!!

Yeah, the chart was all lit up this morning.

There's a corn test lower in the band, good only for showing the band has a path to somewhere.

Not AM related but for the last 2 days around 00 GMT I have received QRSS signals from WA5DJJ on 28000750, in fact he is there now as I type.
Dave is running 22mW into a Butternut HF-6V vertical and my receive antenna is a half wave vertical at about 6M AGL.

That's amazing...I realize that QRSS is digital but do you ever get an audible Slow CW signal?  good stuff..

Signals are generally FSK with 5Hz shift and usually too weak to hear but can be decoded down to about 30dB below the noise.
This is Dave's signal this morning @ 0150 GMT - read the CW along the top line.

I'm beginning to hear some G stations on SSB from here in the pacific NW   8:30 AM PST

Lots of big sigs out of EU this morning and continuing. I'm currently working GW4EVX on 29050. Almost all sigs so far have been 59 and better.

I was late for the Sunday party; I was at a great hamfest all morning and early afternoon but from 4:00 PM to 4:36 PM did manage to snag on AM, PE2HHN, G0JXX, M1CTK, ON2WAC, OP7M, ON8WA, GW3TMP, and ON1ARF on roughly 29.01 to 29.015. Tower was fully nested so antenna was only up at 35 feet.

Finishing  up with KH6U on 29000.

I hear you loud working  G5FZ, I am about 80 miles west of you.

I went upstairs to make breakfast and heard you working Simon on the Atwater Kent 55 via the talking house transmitter fed by the board in the shack.

We might be able to make contact without backscatter. What do you have for an AMtenna?

Antenna is a Mosley TA-33 up 25', 400' asl.
 G5FZ is still at it,1420 UTC.

Have to see if we can talk. On right now with GW4GTE 29.090.

Got in late. Still had a nice Q with M1DEN mobile at 1630.

Didn't hear much other than the British Isles today.  But the band seemed to be in good shape, starting to fall off slowly after 1600Z.

True. They were there in force. Seems many from 3615 kc are hanging out on 10 meters.

On with VE6CQ AND KL7YK 29.050.

Be there or be... well you know the rest.................

10 is open guys.. On 29.100 AM now

10 is open again. Just worked PR from my 25 watt 10 meter mobile with a wilson 5000 mag mount :)

Hmmm, I was on 15 and 10 mobile today for several hours around 2-5 pm and didn't hear a peep on either band in the AM sections. Called on both bands but no takers.
