[Boatanchors] 15 Meter AM - Results

Sun, 9 Mar 2003 12:22:27 -0500

Jerry et al:

I asked about the 21.285 frequency on the AMI web site.  No one gave me an
answer as to why that frequency is listed.

Paul WA3VJB, a well known AM'er and member of AMI,  said he was planning on
using 21.425 as that is the frequency used by quite a lot of the English (G)
AM'ers.

I'm still hesitant about the 21.285 frequency as that is in the Advanced
portion of the band, and would exclude those with a General class license.

I don't think it really matters if we "use" .390 or .425 etc;  using either
as a calling frequency is fine,  but we don't want to get into the rut of
another "AM Window" like exists on 75 meters.

I'm "cc" this email to Paul 'VJB; perhaps he can opine on this situation.
