No doubt on the mindset.
It's strange at least for me to go back and forth between the two exsteamly different ways one speaks while on AM and SSB.
I did mention in my post that it feels strange and awkward to be speaking the way i need to if i want to make contacts on AM, I find myself turning on the Sonar first as of late.
In all honesty since I've discovered I can actually make contacts on AM I have been spending most of my radio time there.
Up until four days ago if I spent 2 hours on the air it would be an hour and half on SSB and a half-hour talking to my locals on AM.
I guess it's just something new to me and I will eventually revert back to my old haunts (SSB). Imo nothing beats SSB for real Radio enjoyment. If I only would have known how easy it was to actually make contacts on AM I would have picked up the lingo a while ago. I now have two modes to operate on. Doubling my enjoyment. I find it kind of funny because I'm sure there are people listening who actually can tell that I am new to shooting skip on AM. I find myself stumbling and stuttering On Words. I am not very comfortable with the lingo yet. I'm sure I'll get better as I go along. 73
And I just got down! (LOL)
