Thanks, Brian for getting back to me.
Any idea when "they" might be operating the station? Or, is this more or
less a static display? I assume that if a visitor wants to get on AM, then,
the equipment is operational. Kind of sporadic operation, I would suppose.
Great job and keep up the good work.
Oh, by the way, has anyone ever thought about the development of an
informational brochure on AM. Such a handout could be extremely beneficial
our hobby. These brochures could be conspicuously placed at W1AW, etc. I
just bet that many new aspiring hams are not acquainted with the mode. Just
maybe ARRL would oversee the project!!
Thank you.
