[AMRadio] Is this list still functioning?

[Mark]

My one and only antenna - an inverted "V" came down in  a storm 
recently. I listened to a lot of AM here in the Midwest last winter on 
that antenna, and never fired up anything the entire time. While 
listening to the variety of "AM personalities" I have been setting up my 
work  bench and station slowly, which is whats taking me so long. I had 
to obtain a good freq gen, a couple of scopes, a good VTVM and some 
other items, plus build a nice "boat anchor approved" work bench. 
Between work, family obligations a new shack  it takes time, but its 
getting there.

Additionally, I have been wanting to put up a horizontal loop on 80 and 
something for 40 Meter AM. I have a hygain hytower sitting here for a 
couple of years I need to install. I plan on taking care antenna 
problems before winter. Additionally I have a few AM transmitters I am 
looking forward to getting on the air. A Valiant, a 5100 and some other 
fun machines. Its a little bit of work to get all this going!

Hope to see you guys on the bands this winter,

Mark
