[AMRadio] AM worldwide

[Daniel Artaud F6BRD]

Rob,

No, they don't, They are too serious for that HI!...
I love AM because it is the way I descovered Ham Radio in 1966 when my 
parents put the radio in the attic. This lent me to have a job in the 
TV/Radio broadcast industry during 42 years. It was a pleasure to work 
or to get close up with "Beasts" in VLF to UHF and few milliwatts to 
several hundred kilowatts.
As a retired man, it's a real pleasure to discuss in AM and feel zen. 
But as a technician, I am always planning something to experiment.

73, Daniel
