Title: The 2023 AM Rally Operating Event Returns February 3-6
Post by: N1BCG on January 04, 2023, 12:14:42 PM
The AM Rally is returning to the HF+6M bands for the sixth year beginning on Friday the 3rd!

The purpose of this event is to encourage the use of Amplitude Modulation on the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10 , and 6 meter Amateur Radio Bands and to highlight various types of AM equipment in use today. This event is open to any and all radio amateurs who are running full carrier amplitude modulation (standard AM) using any type of radio equipment. Modern, Vintage, Tube, Transistor, Software Defined, Military, Boat Anchor, Broadcast, Home Brew or Commercially available radio are all welcomed to join in on the AM fun.

In addition to the casual conversation quality of operating AM, it also gives those who select the AM mode on their rigs for the first time a chance to learn the importance of proper carrier and microphone settings for optimal performance. It's a great opportunity for newcomers to try the first phone mode and for experienced ops to be "AM Ambassadors"!

The 2023 AM Rally runs from 0000Z Saturday February 4 to 0700Z Monday February 6, (7:00pm EST Friday February 3 - 2:00am EST Monday February 6 and 4:00pm PST Friday February 3 - 11:00pm PST Sunday February 5 )
