[AMRadio] Just an evil thought round tables

[Ronnie Hull]

From 1998 - 2007 we had a gathering on 3880 every morning starting about 4am or so. Started out with myself and WA5CMI  and w5OD, and gradually we started picking up a host of regulars from Minnesota to Texas and from Colorado to North Carolina with occasional stations from California and the the northwest. It began to turn into mayhem there were so many stations and it was not uncommon to only get to make 2 transmissions before 6 am when I had to leave to get ready for work!

Totally burned out on AM for about two years or so, and even now I'm not on every morning any more!
