Title: +/- 7195 khz AM
Post by: pe1mph on October 17, 2012, 10:21:37 AM
Hello AM Lovers,
This afternoon I were in my studio busy and in the back my receiver were on.
Sometimes I changed the freq., to find AM!
And... nearly I fall from my blue studio chair, AM on 7195 khz! :)
First I listen... I could not believe... 2 stations talking in AM!
I thougt: I must say hello to them!
And with my old Yeasu FT 901-DM I got a qso in AM!
With GW0WLQ and MM0UDI, the last were mobile in Aberdeen!
We got a nice qso in AM.... only a little ssb near this freq.
I could not believe, but it were happening... oh AM can be so great!
Sorry I could not use my homemade transmitter, I have no crystal for 7195 khz.
Maybe an AM Forum reader have from me a cheap one.... ;D

I keep my eyes & ears around 7195 khz evenso in the early morning! :)
If it is around this freq. 'BC-station-free'.

Greetings,

Henk, pe1mph

Hello,

Some mornings I have been monitoring around 7195 khz.
No BC on 7195 khz, but on 7200 khz BC.
And on 7180/7185 I heard a BC, sounding Chinese??

Often I heard ssb from the USA in the morning.
A pity 7290 is not possible to hear AM (BC!).
So let me know which freq. mostly are AM stations on 40 mtrs.

Thanks,

Henk, pe1mph
