--- By the way,if anyone is interested,AM mode hams can be found 1-2
hours before local sunrise on or about 3885 kHz.Their are frequencies
in other bands but i only know this one.You will see what i meant if
you hear W0XV or someone else with audio like his.

Has anyone of you noticed an audio quality difference among AM
stations,especially older stations vs. newer ones ? I also wonder

if

any U.S. stations are still using tube transmitters ? I know that

the

older tube receivers have better audio than many new solid state
rigs.But i had not thought about transmitters having the same

qualities

tubes vs. solid state until recently.
When tuning through the 75 meter phone band recently on my Grundig

G-6

Aviator,i heard a group of AM mode hams.The loudest,W0XV in

Mississippi

was pegging my meter and his audio was incredible ! He put the

audio of

some AM broadcast stations to shame ! He was using a home brew

tube

transmitter.
Which AM stations in your respective areas seem to have the best

audio ?

This could be useful as better audio should make a station easier

to

catch if it can be heard at all in the dxer,s area.Thanks.
