[600MRG] CW QSO this morning.

Congratulations!
I'd like to hear more about the antenna. Is that 320 foot end-fed all horizontal or is there a vertical section in that length?  What height above ground is the horizontal section?

Congratulations are in order to George W7HDL in Salmon, Idaho who QSOed Larry W7IUV 
in Qunicy, WA, distance about 375 miles, on 474.5 KHz, CW, this morning, about 1435Z.

This was George's second foray onto 630 meters. He is using a WWII Bendix TA-12 at 
about 65 watts output to a ~320 foot end-fed wire running E-W. EiRP not yet calculated, but 
most probably very low.

Larry gave George a 559 report.

George tells me he intends to do some modifications to his gear to reduce noise from his 
power supplies, and will be back on the air next week some time.

He has a lot of local noise on 630 meters in the evenings, but it is quieter there in the 
mornings.

It would be good, it seems to me, if others would listen for George and try to work him.

vy 73 to all for now,

Ken Gordon W7EKB
