[600MRG] My 630m Mini-NoN report

[sbjohnston at aol.com]

I operated my station WH2XHY using TS-990S and converted LPB amp Friday and Saturday night from roughly 0230 to 0500 Z, then ran my maritime CW rig as an automated beacon the rest of the night.  Best receive antenna usually proved to be my active 8' whip at ground level in the back yard.  Transmit antenna is the inverted-L wire, 40' up and 100' across.  I generated 1.5 amps of antenna current with the TS-990 and amp, and 2.0 amps with the maritime rig.

Here's what I copied and worked this weekend on 630m from my location near Madison, Wisconsin (EN52hx)...
