After completing the kit, I sent it to Bob Allison, WB1GCM, in the ARRL Lab for testing. Bob enjoys operating 75-meter AM, and he tried it out (see the sidebar, "On the Air with the Nouveau 75A"). AM operators typically congregate near the high end of 75 meters. Look for stations around 3.885 MHz. Other frequencies may be more popular in your area, so tune around. There's a users' group online at 4sqrp.groups.io/g/N75. The Nouveau 75A is a fun little unit. Construction isn't difficult, and the finished unit is attractive and works well. It won't replace your 100 W home-station transceiver, but it is an interesting way to try 75-meter AM.
