Hi Mike !
Ther is a really gold mine of infos this forum !
I'm in Nord Italy, on Italian riviera near SanRemo..
On QRZ.COM you can see the 2010 shack..  soon i upload new pics!
Yes i try to collecting and use some vintage gear! here on Europe it's not so easy like on US. to find heavy Radios hi hi hi...
On EU we have some AM net on 40 and 80 meters...  every week-end on morning time we use 7.190 +/- QRM
Many France OM on 3.600 every days at 18:00 to 19:00 CET.. other European QRG is 3.710..
Some OM on European Early morning or late nigth try to listen americans stations..  it's not "piece of cake"  !
Unfotunately hera we don't have the 75 meter... 

It's my first steps on AM whit true boat anchors gear.. usually i'm using my Drakes Radios...  but on the side of my "new" Johnson Ranger it's like to use a Full DSP Jap Black Box hi hi hi hi

I apologize for my poor english !
