[AMRadio] Why Only 75M

[Bob Macklin]

Here in the COLONIES the published 40M AM calling frequency is 7290.

But in a few months the SWBC operations are supposed to vacate 7100 to 7200. Some time back I suggested setting up a new 40M AM calling frequency below 7200. I got a lot of bitching. It seems every thing between 7125 and 7200 is spoken for.

But I don't seem to her any phone operation in that section. Even during contests I only hear the SSB phone people operating between 7200 and 7300.

An AM calling frequency like 7190 would be nice because it would allow people with General ticket to participate.

  Bob,
  We use 7143 and 7142 here in Europe, along with 3615 and 3705, must admit 20m AM not been heard here for sometime either.

    Why does AM operation seem to be limited to 75M only.

    When I moved to this location 5 years ago I was able to hear the So. Cal. AM group on 14286 in the late afternoon. But about one year later all I ever heard there is SSB.

    What's wrong with 40M AM. Am I just listening at the wrong time?
