Title: Early AM 40 Meter AM Anyone? Post by: AJ1G on August 28, 2020, 06:40:41 AM Anyone want to try out 40 meter AM in the early mornings as an alternative to 75? Propagation from the northeast to the midwest and southeast is usually pretty good around 0600 eastern, i suspect that propagation on 40 out to the usual suspects on at that time of morning in KY, GA, FL, IN would result in higher signals levels and less QRN than on 75. The only activity I have been hearing on 40 lately is a little the mid afternoon, when propagation is usually pretty dismal, few signals, and lots of fading. I'm up there now on 7290, will try being there in the early AM from about 0630 to 0730 for the next few days, except Saturdays (Old Mil Rad Net on 3885 then).

I’m out at Weekapaug Beach RI taking a break from surfcasting. No fish tonight but maybe I can bag some 40 meter AM Qs from the mobile from out here. And there’s Tim! I can’t hear him down here though. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
