[AMRadio] Rally Question

[Jim Candela]

 Ron,
   I experienced the same thing here in Texas. There were not too many big signals, and the band was going long at times. I made a few contacts on 7285. At times I saw blips every 5 Khz from 7265 to 7295. Most were from afar (or too close), and not Q5. All in all though it was good to see all them AM stations.

 I had fun and made a few contacts in the rally but got real frustrated. Maybe it was just my area but it seems a few big guns sort of took over the AM  frequencies between 7280 and 7295 and ran a sort of roundtable nets passing exchange info back and forth among “check-ins”! So if a station is on 7290 and wide enough that I can copy him from 7285 to 7295 what am I suppose to do? I am certainly not going to compete so how far astray do the participants usually wander looking for QSOs? When the digital guys have a contest they use all available band space as do the CW guys. Why are the AMers restricted to a small band? Shouldn’t we be able to use any phone frequency that is not in use?
