ARLA/CLUSTER: The AM Portuguese Day in second edition

[João Gonçalves Costa]

- Are you one of those oldies fans or historical transmitter collector?
- Do you miss the AM phone these days?
- Looking for one of those rarer opportunities to test your home made AM radio transmitter project?
If none of these 3 questions fit on your plans for the November 5th, 2011, but you are quite interested on new challenges and want to experiment an historical way of radio phone transmission, than why not join us on the air or simply listen on the bands for activity!
ARLA (Associação de Radioamadores do Litoral Alentejano) it's a regional ham radio association from Southern Portugal that will promote the second edition of the "AM Day" this year.
To get involved on this event it's simple, free and fun.
Test your modern rig or old recovered tube (valve) transmitter on this event, be part of a different pleasant day on the air, learn a lot and travel back in time, when the ham radio AM telephony was the only alternative to the CW telegraphy.
The organization team invites you to use the 80, 40, 20, 10 and 2 metres bands for this propose.
The time schedule for the event is the following:
3,680.0 MHz - from 08:00 UTC to... whenever the propagation allows us to get someone on the other side using Amplitude Modulation.
7,100.0 MHz* - from 09:00 UTC to... well... until we get some of those 1920's old radio call signs on the speaker.At 21:00 UTC we are back on this band for the last round of the day.
14,270.0 MHz - from 14:00 UTC to 15:00 UTC.

29,075.0 MHz - from 15:00 UTC to 16:00 UTC.

144,575.0 MHz - from 16:00 UTC to 17:00 UTC.
* If the frequency scheduled for the 40 m band activity will be impracticable or occupied, we recommend 7,143.0 MHz, by the fact of some regular AM activity have being spotted on this alternative.
We hope to get your call on the log, even if your A3E transmission it isn't one of those notorious "BBC quality" ones.
Let's have some fun!
Please remember on November 5th, 2011 " The AM Portuguese Day in second edition ".
