[600MRG] Modes?

[Jim Miller]

I'm not yet on 600m but working on some sketches for a RSN transverter for
this band for my K3.

One thing I'm not yet settled on is separate antennas for TX and RX.

I have beverages that I use on lowbands now that I could potentially use
for 630m. I could also just put up an amplified short vertical for RX if
those don't work well.

Or I could use the TX antenna (likely a wire vertical with loading top and
bottom suspended by tall oaks) as my RX antenna.

The latter would need TX/RX switching rather than just overload protection.
This would mean extra work if CW and QSK was desired.

So (finally) my question: how prevalent is CW now or expected to be as a
mode and do you find QSK on this band to be useful? Do you use normal CW
speeds of around 20-30wpm or is it normally slower and with lots of repeats
and less conversational?

Thanks!
