7.299 LSB by day,
3.999 LSB by night. (Esp. after midnight)
Exactly — no tuning around.
If bizzy, wait for clear air. Stay spot-on.

Get an EXCELLENT plain old AM receiver.
It’s amazing what you’ll receive at night
from hundreds of mils away. All the big
cities have 50,000 watt major blowtorch
stations. Most decent ham radio “low-bands”
or “HF” rigs de an excellent job on plain
old M broadcast. A decent antenna is a must.

At risk of being shouted down:

Make “Icom.” Model “IC-718.”
Does AM Broadcast, and all shortwave and ham
bands below 30 mHz. Street $500 or less.
Buy from a dealer, NOT ebay.

Baofeng UV-5 from Amazon. Yes, it’s Chinese,
but it’s dirt cheap and works fine. Be practical.

MANDATORY: Get Mister Ward Silver’s “Dummies”
book from Amazon. It’s The Best overall Newbie
briefing.
