    Yes, but they don't have working antennas.

    Meh. I'll raise you an Isotron.

    I do AM from time to time. My favorite AM rig is my Flex 3000.

    Yeah, I'm an AM'er. I have a Johnson Viking 2, a Valiant, a Globe king 500 a Kenwood receiver and a few old boatanchor tube receivers. I am also the one without a functioning antenna, my Inverted Vee was wrecked in a storm and I haven't put it back yet, although I have the stuff I need so it will be going back up soon. I was on 75 and 40 and 10 m AM a lot back in the mid-late 80's and early-mid 90's during which time I got into the New England / East Coast AM sound.... No G5RV's here, just telegraph wire and balanced line and Johnson Matchboxes. ;)

    P.S. Probably worked you back in the days... call sounds very familiar.

    John -- all those great AM radios and no motivation to get that antenna up? Tsk Tsk.

    No, there isn't "no motivation". There is actually strong motivation and it has been growing in strength. I do have other interests that come first but, I am anxious to get things going for HF because I am sick of being limited to VHF/UHF. So yeah, we will have that aerial up soon.
