[Milsurplus] Extra Class AM Window 3685 KC

[John Page]

I was on 3685 this evening. There were at least 6 AM stations on. 
K4KYV,W5JO,K4KWM and several others that I cant recall their calls now that 
I am upstairs. Unfortunatly I "blew" an antenna tuner and had to call it 
quits for the nite. But the others were on for quite a spell. No 
interference at all. It was a joy to open up the R390A to 16kcs and really 
enjoy the good sounding audio without hearing Donald Duck up and down the 
band. 3685 may well be a good place to hang our shingle. John
