När jag hade ett AM QSO häromdagen med Jaakko OH1TX så fick jag denna bild som visar hans QTH med fina antenner. Han bifogade även nedanstående mejlkonversation mellan sig och AM-entusiasten Steve WB3HUZ som handlar om deras AM-QSO mellan kontinenterna.
Steve har även bifogat en inbjudan (pdf) till 2010 Amplitude Modulation Transmitter Rally Contest and Operating Event som går den 6 februari 2010.

Jaakko:

I've attached a PDF on the upcoming AM rally. Please pass along to any European stations who may want to run AM. I've copied several on this email. We've also worked SM6GZ and LZ2QI on AM back in 2001, so maybe they are interested too.
Please remember, it's not required for EU stations to work only USA  station in this rally, so many EU to EU contacts would be good too.

We can work out some times and frequencies for EU to USA contacts.

Tom/K1JJ and I worked 30 countries tonight on 80M SSB including 4Z, TA, 4L, SV, UA, UR and many eastern and western Europe. Much fun even with much QRN.

73,

Hello Steve,

Great signals from East Coast on AM  yesterday - you and Tom were real arm chair copy all the time.

This morning I was testing my Collins A-line ( 75A1 +32V2 ) on AM with Joe AA1BU and got 57 with 100w and 59+ with 800w lin amp. Since my coil loaded yagi has quite narrow bandwidth , I can only transmit well around 3760 - 3800 and work split with you. I prefer  to listen to you around 3870-3890 since 3705 is were busy with European traffic. For me 3765-3770 is the best tx frq being also outside the dx window.

Please pass this info to Tom as well.

Looking forward to hear you on AM again

Jaakko:

Great to hear you on 80 meters AM last night. You had a fantastic signal here to Virginia. Many USA stations were shocked to hear you and those that worked you on AM were quite happy. It's not often we get to work European stations on AM.

I've included an audio clip of you working Bob, N7UA.

Please call us again when you hear us, or we could arrange a schedule in the future. I'm sure many other USA stations would love to hear your Collins radio and have a chance to work you.

Also look for me working some European AM stations on 3705 kHz around 0500Z on the weekends.

73 and Happy New Year,

Steve
