[600MRG] 630m operating event report, S. AZ

[Steve Ratzlaff]

Band is very noisy tonight with static and general band noise, so not 
the best of conditions. But I heard most of the listed folks, some at 
good levels, some just partial copy above the noise.

R75; 750' N/S longwire best for all these 630m stations.

(470.0 WG2XSV not heard. Poor freq choice since AMBC intermod appears on 
these 10kc channels (450, 460, 470, etc.) Even a slight 100 Hz up or 
down freq change would get away from the intermod. On the SDR I can see 
several carriers on 470.0; no sign of any CW.)

471.0 WD2XSH/20  of N6LF 0316 utc, strong signal

473.0 VE7SL 0215 utc and after, weak signal, best signal by far of the 
west coast Canadians.

474.0 VE7BDQ 0352 utc, poor

474.5 WG2XIQ of KB5NJD 0320 utc, medium

475.0 CF7MM 0406 utc, very poor/poor, fades up now and then, got call 
sign several times.

(475.67 WH2XXP near Reno, NV, not in the 630m event but sending wspr 
with single CW ident at end--extremely strong S5 level, can't miss him 
when tuning the band, when he's transmitting.)

476.5 CG7CNF 0219 utc, very poor

477.0 VE3OT 0343 utc, nice fade up briefly, very poor

(477.7 VO1NA, no sign, didn't really expect to hear him!)

479.9 WA2XRM of W0RW, first noted at 0358 very poor but faded up to good 
signal by 0419 utc.
