[South Florida DX Association] A Salute to HAM "AMers" Big Boy Toys

[Alan Harp]

Nirvana makes me nervous.  I prefer bluegrass myself.  Talking about
AM...around 1960 I was going to college in Ft Wayne Indiana.  There was a
fellow named Bobby Sever who did the farm report on WOWO in the morning who
was also a ham.  I don't remember his call.   He had an AM transmitter that
sounded the same on 75 meters as the 50KW signal on the AM broadcast band.
The modulation transformer was in a box with lots of insulation because it
talked and would cause feed back if left out in the open.  Good AM
transmitters are expensive.  When I heard him on 75M I wondered why I was
picking up a harmonic from the broadcast band.

Nirvana for me. Not for the faint of heart!
