[600MRG] Dedicated WSQcall dial frequency?

[Roger Graves]

Hi Alan,

Great to see you interested in WSQCall on 630m! It is a fun mode.

The WA7MM was probably VA7MM, who is active on WSQ. Some of the other signals were likely W0YSE who was running a WSQ beacon on that freq. last nite.

Were you using the WSQCall software? If so, I am surprised that you did not get decodes as any signal strong enough to hear a CW ID (or indeed to hear at all) should give some decode.

Are you able to transmit on 630m WSQ? It would be great to have a QSO.

73,
Roger
