Welcome to the official web site for Western AM operators who enjoy restoration and operation of AM radio equipment. Meet the control operators, see many vintage AM stations, and hear their individual stories. Swap ideas, parts, post circuit improvements or write an article of your own restoration project. The Western AM Club, "W6AMI," has no dues or meetings, just a weekly net each Wednesday at 7:00 PM local time on 3870 kHz where you are welcome. The monthly roster and calendar of upcoming AM events are updated each month and can be easily downloaded for your convenience.
