[AMRadio] Noteworthy Event? First Ever 75 meter class E to class E AM QSO

[Bill Smith]

I'd like more info, and would love to participate in a coast-to-coast
class-E qso!

Hate to sound so stupid, but is there a quick way to grab the parts together
to make a transmitter?  Sounds like you two have paved the way.

73 de Bill, AB6MT
