AM QSO PARTY THIS WEEKEND!

[Brian Carling]

LET'S FIRE UP OUR DX60s, DX100s, Rangers, VALIANTS
and 32V3s this weekend guys!!!

The Antique Wireless Association has announced an AM 
operating event 2300 GMT Saturday to 2300 GMT Sunday 
(February 26th-27th, 2005). "This is the first AWA on-air get-
together to be open to the general ham public," wrote Randy 
Haus, KB2PLW, one of the organizers in a posting to the 
organization's web page.

Frequencies: 3837 to 3885 Kc; 7270 to 7290 Kc and 14250-
14280 Kc.

The AWA has long gathered on 3837Kc for a weekly Sunday 
afternoon vintage check-in nicknamed the AWA PM AM net. 
Its popularity has prompted additional AM activity in this area 
of the band, with people taking part in a variety of AM 
roundtable QSOs during the weekend afternoons.

As the AWA expands the event to welcome more people, the 
move is in keeping with a trend of people "discovering" AM by 
pushing the button or hitting a menu tab on contemporary 
transceivers, some of which rival old plate-modulated 
transmitters for audio quality. 

As such, operators with new and old equipment can be 
expected to turn out and tune in.
