[AMRadio] "Real" AM'er

[wb3fau at att.net]

yes! indeed,  one of the reasons i  do not use  75m.  But, there are some  who are  descent people.  160  used to be a  nice place.  40  has some  good guys, but its getting clicky.  there are some   there  who really  hate  me.  They  keep  telling me I am too  broad and  too  loud.  I  am  not really concerned, these  are boatanchors,  plate  modulated  AM  with
both sidebands...
