Hello AM Lovers,

Yesterday I heard Steve and Todd on 3710 khz.
Signals good, but plenty splattering by ssb...

This morning I heard AM from the USA on 3875 & 3885 khz.
Till +/- 08.00, in the morning by me, I heard some talking on 3875.
But weak signals, not possible for me to copy calls or names..
And till +/- 09.00!!!! I heard AM on 3885!
One station talks very long.... I say he is 'a-long-talker'!
His transmission were between 08.45 - +/- 08.55!
I could hear not all from him, but he talks about: modulation.
Perhaps this person reading this and can tell who he was...
I guess Don, because his voice souding like him (k4kyv).

This morning no am from the USA between 3705 - 3710.
On 3710 I heard: F6AQK, 9H1ES and another French station.
But, again!, many ssb on above freq.

Good DX,

WA1QIX was BOOMING into Athens at S9 this AM, talking to W4AMV(?) whose carrier just locked in the sync detector but I couldn't copy any audio.  Also some other weak carriers up to 3885 but too much bass in the audio to pull it out.  CHU on 3330 was about S-6 this AM; usually it's S1 to S3 so I figured it would be a good morning to hear the US.

Thanks for the info/movie, but this morning no AM from the USA!

This nice info I got from a French AM Lover (3550 khz):

I heard some AM stations around 3875-3885, seemed to be some kind of a dustup with some adjacent slopbucket stations.  Lots of fading and I didn't copy any calls, but CHU was strong again this AM.  I'm also an hour ahead of you and quite a bit south, so the band closes in Athens before it closes for you - and it's probably another 1200 KM on the path.

[Steve - K4HX]

Much less noise on the morning of 29 Dec 11. Here's a short clip of F6AQK signing off at about 0530Z on 3710 kHz.

Sorry....

I forget to tell....
This morning, 31 dec. 2011, I heard a station on 3885 khz.
He is comming from the USA and transmitting in AM...
His name and call unknow for me, but he had a good signal!

I heard him talking about some antenna's.
He were changing during his transmission his antenna.
I heard him talking about 'a 160 mtrs dipole'?
He changed, but I saw no difference on my S meter.
But I hear him only talking about 2 antenna's...

Great man cave /shack from the french station!   I noticed he was wearing his coat

[Steve - K4HX]

Excellent clip! No SSB interference. I love the glowing SP-600. That dude has a voice almost as low as N3WWL!

Hello AM Lovers,

This morning I heard around 3880 khz:
(by me +/- 06.15 in the morning)

WA1QIX

Steve were talking about ssb around 3775.
Therefore he were going a little up.
He (Steve) has a big, big signal by me: S9+!!!
He gives cq in AM: 2 or 3 stations returning for him.
Only from one I could hear some words.
I am not sure about his call, I think sounding like: N3???

Around 3705 not possible to hear am.
Again many splattering from (German) ssb.

I am going to fire up my AM rig this afternoon. All 9 watts! I will try 3705 and 3710. Probably around 3 PM EST (1500 uhr) by the time I get it on freq and my tx and rec antenna hooked up. I am going to run it without the Ant tuner as it is downstairs used on another project. (1 tube CW transceiver )

I heard the European AM'ers last Friday while visiting my friend K4ESE.  Neil, lives in North Carolina and has a "four square" array up on this band.  Signals  were pretty good copy especially the French station.  I didn't get the call signs as we were busy exchanging old ham radio stories and not listening very closely.

I have a two element vertical up on the band.  Hopefully I can make a trans-Atlantic QSO some time this winter.
