Hi Drax. That is a fair question. 

I think JT65 is too wide for 630m, at least when the band gets active. JT9 is better on MF and LF and is quite narrow. 

This morning I watched Steve, VE7SL, on JT9 making the first ever QSO between BC and Roger, VK4YB, in Australia !!! You will be able to read about it on the 630m "DAILY REPORT" on John Langridge's blog site later today at
