[Milsurplus] 50.400 AM: Is It Worth the Effort?

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

Apparently a fair amount of activity up here in the northeast too,
mainly Boston and Albany areas. I've just recently restored some old
Clegg gear for this purpose, but have nothing up beyond a 6 meter
dipole for testing and local work. Hope to remedy that soon as thw wx
improves.

It's like someone else mentioned though, not anything close to
continuous or even regular activity beyond some nightly round tables
and weekend activity. We've talked about it on the AM board as an
alternative for when the low bands get really noisey this summer.
