The purpose of this site is to promote AM
activity in the Northwest. There is a lot of interest in various aspects of AM
work. Audio – Linear Amplifier building – Broadcast Transmitter rebuilding and
Antennas to name just a few. I hope to offer articles written by participants
of the group as well as include urls to other sites that may be of interest.
Digital photos are always welcome. I hope
to build a collection of all of the OM’s in the group as well as make
announcements of interest.
Suggestions are very welcome.
