This meeting was loaded with nostalgia and was a lot of fun. Kind of like an old A.M. roundtable.

Remember, A.M. is the wave of the future. There will be a bunch of A.M.ers on Wed nite for the Collins Collectors net on 3880. Lot of big Collins rigs will be on. I'll have my Valiant and 51J3 on.
Here's the notice:
---------------------------------
FIRST WEDNESDAY AM NIGHT !!! Sponsored by the Collins Collectors 
Association. 

Cedar Rapids, Iowa - Wednesday December 1st on 3880 kcs at 7:30PM local East 
Coast time marks the start of the latest chapter of First Wednesday AM 
Night, drawing hundreds of vintage stations from across the country. 

The event is anchored by a "tall ship" AM station in each time zone. The 
East Coast will run for 90 minutes in response to the tremendous 
participation in the Eastern Time zone. The remaining time zones will be an 
hour. We encourage stations to check-in on AM using Collins and other 
transmitters, new and old.  It's an opportunity to revel in this nostalgic 
mode, enjoy giving vintage equipment a "run," and sharing some storytelling 
about classic vacuum tube homebrew and commercial designs. Typically more 
than a hundred stations take part in the evening's coast-to-coast AM event; 
by the time it concludes at 10P, PDT (1A EDT). 


In months past, anchor stations have included those running the beautiful 
Collins 300-G, pictured below, as well as those running the amateur KW-1, 
and other noted models.

don't have to be running Collins or vintage gear to be welcomed into the 
group.
