"TOP BAND" refers to the highest wavelength band available to the radio
amateur in the USA (at present).

If you have Microsoft "Outlook Express", Goto the View Folders functions and
bring up the "newsgroups" list.  If it is the first time, it will take a while online
to load the list!  Then you can select a search term like "radio" and it will
bring up all the "groups" with that term in its name.  There is a bunch of
them dealing with ham radio etc.  Also you might try looking them up on
qrz.com.  Think they have links to various groups.  Or even try the "Google"
search engine online and it will keep you busy for hours searching for the groups
that deal with what you are interested in.

Old time radio can be found on the "glowbugs" and "boatanchor" groups.
Ditto "specialty" groups like PSK31, etc.

Hope this helps.

| Question 1:  With 160 meters being the LOWEST band in frequency, why is it
| referred to as TOP band?
|
| Question 2: If there are more appropriate lists for discussing ham radio
| related topics of general interest, what are they?
|
| Question 3: What amateur radio related lists do you yourself value belonging
| to?
|
| So far I've only found the Elecraft and QRP-L groups to be of lasting
| interest.
|
| Thanks, Bill
