[600MRG] 630 meter QSOs

[Brian]

I've been just watching the list for several weeks now as I had never heard of 600 meters and wanted to know more about it. The questions I have are getting answered bit by bit. Things like what kind of antennas, transmitters, receivers, licensing, etc. I have a TS-2000 and I'm not sure if I can at least receive it. I tried a frequency I saw here and never heard anything, but that doesn't mean anything. So any extra information you provide between yourselves is appreciated as there are inquiring minds listening in the background.

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.
