EU MUST be workable from here, I'd give anything for an 827 right now and a bit of power, (OK, I have the power but not the aerial )I bet I'd work North EU from here right now on AM. I can hear them on their CB's chatting away. I don't have a big vert only a beam, which is fine for 11m DX but for this kind of stuff, an Imax or an 827 is what you really need nondisclosed_email@example.com (yamanx1)Sun, 08 Apr 2012 19:19:59 +0000 Re: AM Day Easter Sundayhttps://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p21034,from=rss#post21034https://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p21034,from=rss#post21034Hmmmm, I'm sure theres a source of noise, but its not local to me. I have been calling on and off all day. The band is quiet when I start to call, like now. But after say five minutes or so I have a hummin sound that appears, 5/1-2. Not sure about conspiritpory theories, but defo something was waiting for us today. Maybe just a loan saddo with a bit of kit and too much time on his hands? But defo not right. Having said that, I made a few contacts with some qsy'ing and it was fabulous to use the old GE AM set Really put a big smile on my face Grinning I was for a while like a kid nondisclosed_email@example.com (yamanx1)Sun, 08 Apr 2012 18:12:26 +0000 Re: AM Day Easter Sundayhttps://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p21033,from=rss#post21033https://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p21033,from=rss#post21033Strange things happening down here in my neck of the woods,turned on radio and had s3-5 of noise all over the 11m band.Selected ch 14AM and had s9-20db of noise which faded to s7-9 after around 20mins.Noise stayed on 11m all afternoon but wasnt on any other band except lil noise on 10m.Im one for conspiracy theories and as i was one of the many who was against the outlawing of AM back in the late 70s i think i was deliberatly blocked from using AM today...... or perhaps just a coincidence....nondisclosed_email@example.com (cozzmik)Sun, 08 Apr 2012 17:48:35 +0000 Re: AM Day Easter Sundayhttps://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p21027,from=rss#post21027https://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p21027,from=rss#post21027AM day in full swing North West and Wales reporting activity.

The Foxtrot Bravo DX group is having an AM day on Easter Sunday. Calling frequency 27125 AM. All day event but with specific meeting times on the hour. Everybody welcome, get your AM CB rigs out for an airing! About time we had another AM day, great fun and Easter Sunday seems a good day to have it. We have an extended weekend and plenty of people at home, some hilltopping as well as there is a good chance of some DX at the moment. Even AM DX, particularly into the USA and South America where AM is still used. I have worked 2 division on AM in recent weeks a couple of times, and even got a response on the Superbowl (Channel 6 27025). Another good way of making AM contacts when there’s good propagation on 11m, is to call on 27385 LSB and QSY to an AM channel. nondisclosed_email@example.com (yamanx1)Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:21:50 +0000
