Hi Ray and the group.
Nice video of the MAK, Ray.   That's a cute little set.
You might be limiting yourself.  With a decent antenna you could check in
to OMRN on 3885 with that rig.  You might have to look at your calendar and
sunrise times and check in when the net is still going after sunrise and
the DX propagation goes away.
I've checked in with my TBX, and had TBX to TBX QSOs on skywave.
I'd offer to make a sked with you but I have no AM-capable receiver at the
moment.

I have a ARC-38 that I run on 3885 and use it the first of the month to check into the AM version of the MMRCG Net on 7296, just have a hard time trying to get up for the ORMN net at that early in the morning!

Did have a good QSO with another Ham on 3885 over in central NJ using the MAK, the receiver is fairly broad but sensitive and the 12A6 audio output stage is designed to use a low impedance speaker so listening is not that bad. There is a receiver front end tuning control that you peak for noise when changing channel and you can back that down when QRM is bad and that helps but think a lot of that early Marine AM stuff was somewhat wide by design to accommodate for radios being a little off frequency.
Think I paid like fifty or sixty bucks for that radio out in Dayton and it had never been put into service but did come with all four channels for receive and transmit.
One set of rocks was for 3155 and somehow have seen a lot of crystals for that for TCS and DAV/MAB transceivers so that must have been a popular channel, never saw any crystals for 2182 and would have assumed that would be a popular frequency being a international distress frequency?

Digging thru my stored stuff tonite, I found a couple of BC-474 style microphones -
but get this, with tip pins, not 1/4 inch plug ending. Also a headphone that looks
"BC-474", is RCA labeled plus military acceptance stamp, but also has pin tips, not
plug. I wonder if these were for a pre-474 Army radio. I think I'm going to install
1/4 inch plugs on them for use with BC-474. I also found a 474 someone had semi-
converted into a "emergency radio". It has a FT-243 socket on front panel, below
transmitter tuning, and a toggle switch above it. Really neatly done mod, and the
thing is light green wrinkle. I suppose that's an aftermarket paint job too, but it
really is astonishingly well done. I think this is the one BC-474 I will keep. The
conversion removed the toilet seat covers, 4, but I think I'll hunt some down and
reinstall. A very nice looking piece, overall.
