3599 Vintage Calling Frequency
Since making my original post I have read and appreciate all the comments
made in response to that posting. Thank you all for taking time to "weigh in." I too regret that the thread went nuts but such is the demeanor of so many things here on the Internet. Since posting my suggestion of using 3599 as a vintage equipment calling frequency I have listened extensively and am happy to report the following: Johnson Adventurer 1929 MOPA (Type 203A driven by Type 10Y) EICO 720 Heath DX-60 Johnson Viking 2 Johnson Ranger ELMAC AF-67 Harvey Wells Bandmaster WRL Globe King WRL Globe Scout Hallicrafters HT-32 Hallicrafters HT-46 Swan 350 Collins 32V-3 Knight T-60 Not bad for only one week's listening! Of those, surprisingly, approximately 1/3 stated that they were using crystals (albeit crystals on 3597, 3598 as well as 3599). One gentlemen who I worked said that he had a crystal for 3902 but could not use it because there was a nightly CW roundtable occupying that frequency. I am familiar with the guys in that group and suggested he jump in....they'd love to have him. If you're using a receiver like an SX-28 that permits you to sharpen up selectivity a bit, the edges of RTTY operation seem to be contained and permit a nice little spot to find some other classic station operators. Thanks to all who have stopped by. QTX es QRG 3599 DEWA9VLK |

I probably should have not joined in the discussion, as I have some issues with some of what came up. Enjoy your net. I'm also into old equipment. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |

Mike,
You've made some excellent points throughout this thread. Thanks, too, for your counter opinions. You know, like they say, if two people agree, one of them is unnecessary! Please fire up those vintage rigs, Mike. We've got a lot to talk about besides the weather and how long we've been hams and I'll look forward to it. My best, WA9VLK |
