[600MRG] 630 meter QSOs

Yesterday evening, I made my first 2x QSOs using the WH2XGP experimental 
call.

The mode used was JT9 and WG2XIQ (2514 km) was first in the log followed 
soon after by WG2XJM (3164 km). It took a bit more than the minimum time 
to complete both QSOs due to bad QSB.

By using WSPR and WSPRnet to monitor propagation conditions and the 
ON4KST logger, we were able to co-ordinate and expedite the process. 
With so very few of us actually transmitting, it is difficult to get 
together unless we co-ordinate.

Which begs the question: Why aren't more of the experimental license 
grant holders on the air? Come on guys, get your butts out of the easy 
chair and make some noise on the new band. Show the world there really 
is a use for this frequency! If you can't do anything else at least get 
a WSPR signal on the air so we have more prop info to process.
