   Thanks for the Chart Tom,   
      
   AM'ers know it is O.K. to have QSO's with Square Mouthed Hams on THEIR   
   AM Frequency.    .... ..   
      
   Around 1968 I entered a 20M QSO and someone told me I had some Carrier   
   showing on my signal.   
      
   I told them I was operating Full Carrier, Double Sideband on a   
   Heath-Kit TX-1 APACHE that someone Traded In to Henry Radio.   
      
   In 1958, I remember the first time I heard a local (Not LOCO) Ham   
   joined a QSO on 80M using SSB.   
      
   Everyone just flipped a switch on their Receivers to CW to turn the BFO   
   On to hear what he was saying

    TW> 6 Meters:   
      
      
    TW> 50.4 (generally), 50.250 Northern CO   
      
   When I was on 6M years ago here in the Louisville, Kentucky Metro area   
   50.4 was used for chatting but 50.7 was the main frequency to find out   
   if anyone was listing on 6M.   
      
   There were two frequencies used for FM - 52.525 and 53.6 .   
      
   52.525 was where the old time six meter FM operators were.   
      
   53.6 was used by Civil Defense for a net on Wednesday night.   
      
   I asked the Civil Defense Director if he would issue me a 6M FM 30W   
   Mobile radio, but I didn't get one.   
      
   He said, since I was a Dispatcher for the City Works department (then),   
   if he gave a radio to me it would be unused if any emergencies happened   
   because I wouldn't be available to be called on to use it where it   
   would be needed.   
      
   I know I called AM Antique Modulation in my earlier message just to be   
   funny even though I know AM is called Amplitude Modulation.   
      
   According to Your Chart AM IS IN USE, it ISN'T Antique.   
      
   ... What you think of me is none of my business.
