Last evening (Sat), I lit up the Racal 17 just to read the mail on 3880 AM
while I rewired a mic plug. What did I hear but a booming signal signing
"W1AW". What's this, the ARRL on AM?

Sure enough, two visitors from 6-land had been guest operating, and after
everyone else went home they decided to see if the bran new Icom 7800 would do
AM. It did, what a signal, thought they had an old Collins.

Dozens of AM stations lined up to work them. I tried to get in, but the Viking
II was not percolating too well into the antenna tuner, so I had to settle for
working a ocuple of the other guys while the guest ops took a supper break.

Here in Maine, I could copy (but not work) stations from my home digs of
Central PA. Anyway, it was inspirational to hear how many AM ops are around,
especially with a little "League" (unofficial) leadership.
