[600MRG] 630m ARRL Worked-All-States progress list

[patrick hamel]

Warren,
To date the work on 630 meters has been experimental and done by only a few "experimenters" not "communicators".
The band must be populated with enough message-passing hams for emergency "usefulness" to develop.
Things would be really bad for the cell phones to be out and the ionosphere blacked out so that 600 meter ground wave would become a primary way to communicate - but that is the only situation any ham communications become useful to politicians.
The various digital modes are aimed at the experimenter now, but activity on the new bands will create a demand for digital modes suitable for message-passing in the near future. 
When we have the capability, then the digital nets will develop with their new protocols.
About Emergency communications; 
The thing about being a hero is that someone must first be in distress for me to help.
It is not christian for me to wish for someone to need help so I can help.
So let us trudge one step at a time and be prepared for what we hope will never happen in our lifetimes.
73,
Pat W5THT

Not for nothing, has anyone been able to show any value of 630m for reliable short range emergency work which was the raison d'etre for getting this band? 
Do we have even one emergency message to show? 
Has the whole thing turned into a farce?

The 630m ARRL Worked-All-States progress list, available via 
http://njdtechnologies.net/north-american-630-meter-operator-list/, is 
offered as (alleged) encouragement and support for Amateur Radio 
stations active on 630m to work toward ARRL Worked All States (WAS) 
awards.  The list will be updated as more stations become active with 
QSO modes and other new information becomes available.  Information from 
these sources was used to compile this list:

http://njdtechnologies.net/category/630-meters/
http://dxsummit.fi/#/?include=472kHz
Roger's VE7VV extensive 630m QSO list in call-sign sequence at the same 
address

Please send additional information, corrections and list suggestions to 
Ralph Wallio, W0RPK via W0RPK at netins.net.
