Hello. We have a AM lover in JA too and most of them are enjoying with homebrew TX or vintage rigs. Recently AM stations in JA is : 7195 kHz. CU in the 40m band! Title: Re: AM station in JA : 7195 kHz Post by: W2VW on January 11, 2013, 03:54:16 PM Can you supply information on active hours?
Thanks, Dave W2VW.

West coast stations have a little bit wider window of time, from 0800 to 1500 UTC.

Hello. Thanks for the feedback. The path between JA and US (west cost side is easier, I think) is evening (=darkness) time and not big issue if it's for CW and SSB. How ever, recently most of JA-AM stations are not "big-gun" and aiming for domestic QSO (this mean active hours is JA`s day time and no chance for DX). I listened between 7140 - 7195 last night but could not hear any AM station. I'll listen carefully next weekend evening. I'm running 100W and G5RV so fingers cross for nice condx! 73 |
