Please qsx 477.7 for a cw becon. I'd be happy to try for a 2-way or crossband 160m with anyone who can hear it.

Colleagues, Have any of you attempted to get on the 630 meter band? As a US Coast Guard radioman in the 1970s, 500 kHz was the worldwide maritime CW calling frequency; almost all night-time traffic occurred on 600 meters. While stationed at Coast Guard Radio Honolulu (NMO), I'd copy stations Pacific-wide -- from Alaska to Australia, from the US west coast to Asia. Just incredible coverage sunset to sunrise. (Daytime traffic shifted to the 6, 8, 12, 16, 22 and 26 MHz maritime bands.) 73, Jeff KH6O -- KH6O / B 28.2338 MHz IARU coordinated worldwide 10 meter radio beacon Grid Square: DM04rr 5/8 wavelength vertical antenna 20 Watts ERP _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
