The AM Forum

can we do am skeds postings here?  if so anyone in the ok tx ks co nm area wanna do some 40m am on 7290?  email me at n5wdz@yahoo.com if interested.  i only have a ricebox icom706 on a cushcraft vertical or a 40m dipole for nvis work, but wanna try anyway.

Sure, this is a good a place as any to try to set up a sked.
What time do you think you'll be on?
I see you're thinking of working closer-in stations, and that's cool.
Meantime, I've lost track of when there may be a path from the mid-Atlantic region out your way, but I'm game also.

Hey Tom, from my old stompting grounds, Amarillo, TX.  I don't think the propogation gods will be in our favor.  40 meters is quite long in the day time and way out there in the evening. 

I check into a net on 3.933 SSb ocassionally at 6 CST and hear nice signals from there.  Can you get on 75/3.885 in the afternoon around 5 or so?  There is a guy in Rio Ranchos who is on 40 in the daytime that I hear very well.  Much between here and there is limited.  What is your suggestion for day and time?  I will try, but bet you have an easier time with Paul or someone in 8 or 9 land.  If you don't hear anyone, give a call, someone will probably answer you on 7.290-95.

ok fb guys...sry i didnt get back to rig to make sked today...

heres my dilema...i dont think my 40 watt rig will hold up on 75m at night..evening MAYBE...thats y i chose 40m daytime...i hear oklahma stations good here and west to albequerque to near durango, co.  so east coast in evening may be interesting.  plus 40m daytime gives me a chance to compare the 2 antennas.  i want to try this farly regular if i can, and maybe someday build a good am station.
