[600MRG] WG2XXM - QRP on 630 meters

[Roger Graves]

When I ran 1W output from my modified Softrock RXTX on 630m the WSPR signal was decoded by many stations with the best DX being 1210 km, this with a 40 ft vertical (plus top loading wire) in the summer. That was a lot of fun to do. JT9 should be able to make contacts over that distance with that power level.
