[AMRadio] "AM Ghetto"

[Brett Gazdzinski]

I never heard of this in over 30 years of operation.

I know there is a qrp cw calling frequency, 7040 or 7050 I think, the AM 
calling frequency is 7290, my flex even said so.

Of course, anyone who breaks in is welcome, but I do not know about low 
power  USB...
