Summer 2021 AM QSO Party

Amplitude Modulation Amateur Radio Society and the AM Amateur Radio Europe Facebook group are pleased to announce the Summer 2021 AM QSO Party.

This is an opportunity to make some QSOs using the original voice mode on all the available HF bands from 160m thru 10m, fingers crossed that propagation allows us to use the higher bands for longer distance QSOs around Europe and even further afield!

The event runs from 18:00 UTC on Friday 16th July until 18:00 on Sunday 18th July, full information can be found at the AM QSO PARTY webpages:
