[NJARC] 2-meter AM Operation

[Al Klase]

NJARC Hams,

There was some talk at Saturday's clinic about old-time AM 
operation on the 2-meter ham band.  I think we ought to give 
this a try.  One suggestion was that we could show up at the 
picnic/meet at Infoage on Sept. 10 with radios in tow.  I 
also think there may be a possibility that some limited 
number of us could work simplex from our homes.

Anyway, we need to pick a frequency, as most of these sets 
are crystal controlled.  I couldn't find anything definitive 
on the web. 144.4 might be OK.  There's a New England Am NET 
ON 144.425.  Any suggestions?

I have a Gonset Communicator III that should be usable, and 
I think my Yaesu FT-817 will do AM, but probably only a watt.

73,
Al
