Hello AM Lovers,

Oh, oh last weeks bad, bad conditions on 80 meters. Cry

F6AQK, 9H1ES and me on 3660 khz in AM have problems...
We can not hear each other or with low S-points.
I need to use some webreivers to hear Jean and Fortunato Wink

For example:
http://sdr.radioandorra.org:8901/ -Andorra
http://iw2nke.ddns.net:8073/ - Italy

Before and after our difficult qso I listen around 3885.
But evenso there I hear last weeks NO am from the USA.

Hi, hi.... this morning I hear some talking.
For me it is a NEW AM freq.: 3905 khz
I guess I heard Steve there....
Perhaps I were to late, because I heard him a few times.
I saw the S-meter comming up, so he did have a good signal.
I were complete surprised, I falling nearly from my chair....

But that is a good choice that freq.: 3905 khz.
Between 3895 - 3910 is mostly the band clean by me.
Because around 3885 I hear often a big digitale mode signal...

Hi, hi.... I put the freq. 3905 in Memory Kenwood R-5000.
And listen more to that freq., maybe I hear more stations there...

Oh by the way...
I have received plenty BC stations from the USA on MW.

With the AM rally this weekend, stations will be spread out much more across the band than normal, in search of a frequency that doesn't already have someone running AM on it, or ssb.

3.905 was heard here in La Pine, OR last night. Must of been a dozen stations or more checking in for the AM Rally. Good fun.

Oke Steve!
But this morning I heard evenso 'digital noise' on 3905!
Evenso, again, around 3885 khz I received that 'horrible sound'.... Cry

And totaly nobody I heard in AM talking. Cry

I understand; 3905 khz it is not a 'normale' AM Freq.
Oke thanks for all info, but I heard your voice loud & clear Steve. Wink
