[Boatanchors] [3890_AM]

As Paul points out 21.430 is a better place to listen. Just below 21.420
you'll generally find the Pacific Maritime Net operating daily and the
American Foreign Service Net (I think Sundays).  There's always some
adjacent channel QRM plus most of us use VFO's or similar variable
frequency control devices, so being stuck on one frequency isn't an issue
or concern. Having the ability to more around in the wake of other AM or
SSB stations is always a plus.
