Wow! Great Mike! Be sure to send a reception report to Denice Stoops PO BOX 381, Bolinas, Ca. 94924-0381. I'll bet they post that one!
Yeah, it's sad how quiet 600 meters is. Here in North America it's largely destined to become a mass of correction beacons for GPS, providing short range signals that will give GPS data an accuracy on the order of a few inches so it can be used for controlling road vehicles, aircraft movements in landing and taxiing and that sort of thing. I understand that most of the beacons will be at airports since their data is most accurate at the transmitter site. However, some folks are working to hold onto segments for a possible Ham band one day. The ARRL is working on the idea. I've been involved in a private activity called the "600 Meter Research Group" that held, for a tantalizing-short time, transmitting licenses to work on several old maritime frequencies around 500 kc/s. But the US Coast Guard objected on principle and our privileges were cut short for now even though there was no record of any interference. Maybe some day Elecraft will have to come up with a XV600 transverter for 600 meters <G>.
