[600MRG] 630-meter EM-COMM

[michael polia]

As Dick Illman pointed out: "It should be noted that we can presently only operate from locations thathave been preapproved by the UTC."
Sort of puts a damper on setting up an EM-COMM site.

May also be problematic for field day operations, and contesting activities like IOTA.

And just want to add that some of the 100 mile groundwave daytime cw contacts were made with simple roll-out on-ground antennas fed by Juma 60 Watt xmtrs. 73, Marshall, W1HK

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.
