I participated last year and hope to do the same this year. (fingers crossed)
I'll be running my Flex, rig category I at 25 watts tickling 4 grounded grid 572b's
My 160 antenna is down so I'll be mainly 40 and 80

Has anyone had any contacts with anyone doing the AM rally?
So far, nothing for me other than on 40 meters this morning after throwing my call out, a station came in and said "the frequency is in use".
What would the 20 meter preferred freq be? I'll try 10 meters later, but no luck so far on 3.885, or 7.290

14.330 and 21.420, then there’s 29.000. I made one contact, but it was a very short hello then goodbye on 40m.
