[Boatanchors] [3890_AM]

[Rob Atkinson]

That is certainly true in theory but the unfortunate reality is that
if free time is limited, you want to spend your CQing time
productively, and that means calling CQ where AM operators are more
likely to be listening. And on 75 m. they are usually listening
somewhere between 3880 and 3890.

This is why attempts to CQ elsewhere have failed, because no one likes
to spend a chunk of their free time calling CQ only to be responded to
by undetectable slopbucket.  Those who "call CQ until I am blue in the
face" down the band, usually wind back up in the "ghetto."   The
solution is to construct a voice and time saving CQ Robot, (something
I would like to do) and/or work out arrangements to operate down at
the other end of the US phone band with other operators and try to gin
up activity.
