I run the “Radio Monitoring Net” Tuesday nights on a Troy, N.Y., 2-meter amateur radio repeater.
Last Tuesday, one of the participants mentioned your “Digging up the AM Graveyard” story.
I love the interactive map, and I think we should make a real effort to support those local, small, graveyard stations by letting them know that we listen.
Send a postcard or letter that says in bold letters at the top — “I Listen!” Like a reverse QSL card. I have an example at the SWLing Post.
Listening to those “locals” is like the difference between a mom-and-pop diner and a chain restaurant. The chain restaurants are fine, but the locals have their own unique charms.
