[AMRadio] FW: AM Station at W1AW

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

I worked them just before moving south. Should've sent in a QSL. My
recollection is that someone get ahold of the station that didn't know
how to tune and operate it properly and ended up burning something up,
which necessitated a new rule that someone from the League be present
and oversee its use. Or something to that effect.

I guess it's good that they still have it set up, though it might be
good to remind them that AM is a current, accepted mode still used
today and not simply a nostalgic reminder of the past. Unfortunately,
we've had people in our own community promote it as just that over the
years.
