[600MRG] 160m last night sets high bar for 630m

[James Hollander]

WSPR database on 160m shows VK6XT was decoded by K9PAW at 17614km.  Not bad--almost summer solstice in Australia!   

G8DYK and VK6XT WSPR-decoded each other both ways (5W, 10W) at 14898km.  Lots other WSPR involving VK6XT and USA and UK/EU.   
 
Kudos to Rudy and Ken for talking up parallel comparisons of 160m/630m.

Lots 160m QSOs between USA and Japan last night too (see ON4KST 160m reflector).

630m antenna efficiency, relation to gyro frequency, and propagation characteristics differ from 160m of course. Someday, maybe 630m will have enough 630m stations active in all these places to compare 630m with 160m TA/TP (trans-Atlantic/Pacific) on the same days.
