[600MRG] 630-meter EM-COMM

[Frederick Raab]

November 6, 2017

Gentlemen:

     As Pat W5THT points out, we have hardly had an
amateur band long enough to use it for EM-COMM, and
we don't want to hope for the opportunity.

     However, it should certainly be possible:

-  W0RPK and KN8AZN(SK) built a transportable station -
   something you could carry in a van or pick-up
   truck to the place for deployment.  It was used
   on the air and made contacts.

-  We ran a number of tests of ground-wave communication
   and demonstrated 24/7 ionoshere-independent comms
   over about 100 mi or moore.
