[AMRadio] Old Ham, New AM Enthusiast

[Bob Peters]

Jerry  You can make that 746Pro sound like a plate modulated transmitter
with an AMP... I operated a 756 PRO and folks thought it was my Gates  LOL
We also have lots of AM Activity here in Texas area and do get to yak with
the New Englanders at night... I have never been real positive about an
Apache
Until you get the audio converted ...We have two guys here in Texas that
operate them with a Warrior...But better is the Thunderbolt or a Henry 2K.
About the same 
Money used...Off course the B&W LA-1 is GREAT amp...Check out some of the
stations on my WEB site

Hello to all
Maybe changing the subject may help... hi hi. I am new to AMPhone. I have 
been a ham for almost 40 years but have only worked the AM mode 2 or 3 times

and that was just recently. I have been so impressed over the years by the 
sounds of many of the stations using AM. By "sounds" I mean the quality. I 
also have found that the majority of the AM'ers are very interesting to 
listen to. I'd like to learn all about the mode as I'm sure there are 
differences compared to using SSB.
I'll get to the point here.... I have an Icom 746pro and have worked 2 
fellows on AM. Of course, I can only use 40 watts with my 746pro. Is there 
any nets or regular gatherings for rag-chews? I have my eye on an AM station

(Apache/Warrior) that I plan on buying soon and would like to get more 
involved with you folks and using AM. I, like many others, are looking for a

change of pace because of the terrible conditions on the HF bands. I also 
think it may be a good opportunity to meet local guys and make a few new 
friends. I am new to the area here in Haverhill Massachusetts.
Any tips, tricks, info, etc..... would be much appreciated.
Thank you and best 73
Jerry - N1TKO
