[SFDXA] Interesting 6m AM net!!

[Bill]

It's worth a try from South Florida...


There is an interesting Net, new to the bands, that started about 6 months ago. This
net meets @ 7PM CST Sundays on 50.400 and operates only in the AM mode.
Yes I said AM, isn't that great? A place to use those old boatanchors such as Gonset.
Lafayette, Ameco, and even homemade transmitters and receivers. There are some
attempts to get a WRL Globe Scout on. Either crystal or VFO either will work, we will
even listen up or down to 'find you.The net control is W4ICU and is located in
Marianna, Fl. This past Sunday night there were 22 check-ins ranging from North
Georgia, Jacksonville,Pensacola and many towns between. He does rotate his beam
all around to different areas to give every direction a listen, be patient!
Try it next Sunday night, you might be surprised to see just what you can do on AM.
Drag out those old 6 meter boatanchors. We even have a few Heathkit Sixers. If you
don't have a boatanchor, a Flex, Kenwood Icom Yaesu are anything that will modulate
with AM is welcome. We just want to keep the AM mode alive.
Thanks and 73
