Charlie Tango AM Net - Saturday 29th August

The guys over on the Charlie Tango forum have organised an AM net to take place on Saturday 29th August 2015.

Calling will take place on the UK AM calling frequency 27.125 (14 Mid Band). Please remember to QSY when contact is made to leave the calling frequency clear for other users. 

AM was legalised in the UK in June 2014 but is rarely used, so if you get the chance check out this activation and see if you can make some contacts.
