[600MRG] CW beacon copied in CA and BC

[John Langridge]

Good show Neil!  I was wondering if you were still on RTTY and how that outing went.

Its funny how guys tend to stumble on to our signals.  People do listen!  There is hope!

I saw in the ARRL letter that the ARRL exec committee is set to meet on the 29th and 472 and 137 updates are on their agenda.  Hopefully they will have some bit of news for us.

73.  I will possibly call CQ on CW at some point in the middle of the night if our WX holds.. WSPR before and after.

Last night I ran my CW beacon all night instead of switching to wspr. I did
not post about it but this morning I got an email from K6TU, Stu, in the
bay area of California. He copied me at an S3 level.

Stu said that WG2XSV was the first ham signal he had copied on 472+ khz. I
told him about the wspr band on 630m, so he might be going there to find
some of you guys on wspr now.

I also mentioned Ralph/7's frequency to Stu so that he might catch Ralphs
CW/PSK signals as well.

Stu is anxious to get on the band as soon as the FCC authorizes it.

Jack, VA7JX in BC, accidently found my CW also as he was trying to
calibrate his Argo program. He sent me a sound byte of what he heard.

I am not sure if I will be on tonight as a possible TS is being predicted.

Have a good day....
73, Neil Klagge
