[BC] Part 15 LPAM Question?

[Bailey, Scott]

Robert,
  There are one or two Class C Channels I found around here that are
Clean during the day. Nighttime is the same ole clutter.
  You mention you know of some Part 15 experimenters using an E-H
Antenna on Local Channels.  Isn't that the Antenna Ted Hart has been
trying to get the FCC to approve?  Have those guys had any success using
that? 
  I talked to Ted Hart back before Christmas of last year. He said he
has some licensed station trying to get approval to beta test his
antenna. 
  I thought I might try building a Part 15 LPAM (Test Station) and put
it on 1400, just to see what coverage I would have, vs. the X Band
Channels. Now just finding the time to do it! I would bet a Rangemaster
with Omnia processing would be perfect to use on that channel.

Scott

that is pretty much the story with the AM band. we choose "X" Band to
squeeze the most out of the daytime signal. at our power levels and
antenna
restrictions we'll get trashed at night wherever we put our signal.

So we ussually pick the "X" Band. We have a few Part 15 Experimenters
Employing E-H antenna's on the Local Channels, but that is about it.

Generally "X" band for Part 15.219 and Lower Channels for Carrier
Current :)

Has anybody designing a LPAM Part 15 station looked into using one of
the Class C (old Class IV) local channels? I know most of the Part 15 AM
stations I see others build who maintain web sites usually pick a
channel in the 1610-1710 X-Band?

Around here, we get a lot of skywave on the X-Band Channels and I told
one guy who was planning to build a Part 15 LPAM that I would consider
using a local channel...1230,1240,1340,1400,1450 or 1490. I told him we
might find something clean enough for him to use during the day, but at
night, those channels are so trashed, he may not get much out as he
would like. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Scott
