> original phone         mode         over the February 2-4
> weekend. Co-sponsor Clark Burgard, N1BCG,         said the
> event "is intended to be both fun and educational." It        
> encourages all radio         amateurs to get on AM, possibly for
> the first time.

> "Because         of resurgent interest in AM, the event is also
> an opportunity         for         amateurs new to AM to learn
> about proper settings and get the         most performance out
> of their station, whether it's modern, vintage, tube,        
> transistor,         software-defined, military, boat anchor,
> broadcast, home brewed,         or commercially         made,"
> Burgard said.

> classes. Some         "special         recognitions" will be made
> on an ad hoc basis, Burgard said.
