Hawaii on 20m AM right now

[Fred k2dx]

There has been some nice AM activity on 14.286 this evening, right now KH6U near Honolulu is on and workable on the East Coast. He is listening.


This was ~9:30-10 PM east coast

I hope you had fun!! 20M is so hit-and-miss with the present spot cycle.

20m is alive and well. What is needed is AM activity, the email sent around yesterday certainly drummed up a number of stations for an impromptu
coast to coast get together. I listened to for a while and heard other stations too, including a 7, 8, VE6... unfortunately I was unable to hear Ashtabula Bill W8VYZ.

So maybe we need to drum up some activity. European contacts should be easy if there is anyone listening on the calling frequency. I have worked SSB stations by calling on AM, just as I do on 75m. If you are zero beat they often don't realize you are on AM!
