FIRST WEDNESDAY AM NIGHT !!! Sponsored by the Collins Collectors Association.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa - Wednesday May 5th on 3880 kcs at 7:30PM local East Coast time marks the start of the latest chapter of First Wednesday AM Night, drawing hundreds of vintage stations from across the country.
The event is anchored by a "tall ship" AM station in each time zone. The East Coast will run for 90 minutes in response to the tremendous participation in the Eastern Time zone. The remaining time zones will be an hour.
We encourage stations to check-in on AM using Collins and other transmitters, new and old. It's an opportunity to revel in this nostalgic mode, enjoy giving vintage equipment a "run," and sharing some storytelling about classic vacuum tube homebrew and commercial designs.
Typically more than a hundred stations take part in the evening's coast-to-coast AM event; by the time it concludes at 10P, PDT (1A EDT).
A logbook of check-ins, with the equipment used, appears in the "Announcements & Events" section of www.amfone.net on the page's "AM Forum - BBS."
In months past, anchor stations have included those running the beautiful Collins 300-G, pictured below, as well as those running the amateur KW-1, and other noted models.
