AM Amateur Radio Europe is a growing Facebook community of European radio amateurs.

The aim of the group is to create a place to discuss the use of the Amplitude Modulation voice mode on HF and VHF. To promote the use of AM on homebrew or commercial equipment, as a place to arrange skeds, organise nets and share circuits. Plus any other ideas on how to promote the use of this fantastic mode.

The group can be found at the link below and any amateur or shortwave listener is most welcome to join visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/656582541370211/

AM QSO PARTY 2020

When? Saturday 25th January 2020 - 06:00 UTC until Sunday 26th January - 12:00 UTC.

To promote/encourage the use of AM on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 12 and 10-metre amateur bands. This is not a 5/9 contest and aim to encourage QSOs and conversation, however, points can be gained and certificates awarded.

There will be points to be gained for each QSO and for each new DXCC worked and there are power categories you can enter to suit all levels of the UK licence. However whilst there are points up for grabs and also certificates to win, the main aim is to get people having conversations using the original voice mode!

So fire up those vintage rigs, build that homebrew transmitter or even use your modern equipment and experience the joy of operating AM.
