I think if we don't use 60m (USB only), then we will never get a proper non-channelized allocation in this rannge.  I say use it.  Even if it's not AM.

I don't understand the question?

I'll guess. IC-746 SSB upper side. If you need all the frequencies, let me know

 i have had some nice QSO's on 60 meteres. unfortunately the only guy i have heard there who i know is Glen WA3GPE. well, i used to know him anyway. i think it's a great band, but too damn quiet. a bunch of us AM'ers orta go up there and take it over, even if we have to go on sideband. it might be a good place to flush certain sideband nets that crowd the AM window to as well.

Chris - I can go there, even on silly sidewash. Let's do a sked there sometime. The path between you and I would be superb 24 hours a day.

What ever happened to that guy. Did he fall down and crack his head? I've heard him on sideband crowding existing AM contacts about a half dozen times over the years. He used to be an AM himself. Makes little sense.

Congrats on working the UK station, Terry.

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth  +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed.  Easily done in DSP.
