And "8 pm to 10 pm": Since you are a K5, I assume
you mean CST zone time. But no telling: I'm a W7
but in California :-)

Ken,
And I thought 1 mW was pretty paltry; 0.8 mW
seems not that much less :-)
Re listening: Having not considered 630 m until
having it available with my K3 I have no antenna
for that purpose. Most of my antennas are
resonant on ham bands -- Tri-band beam, rotating
4-band dipole and a 30 m dipole. I do have a
full-size G5RV. Would that work for RX on 630 m,
perhaps with both sides of the feed coax tied
together so it looks like a long wire? Seems
like that may be my best option among those I
have. But as an "old hand" on 630 m, perhaps you
have experience with "make do" RX antennas.

Hello all,
Installed the syn pwa yesterday and ran 630M
WSPR beacon overnight.I should be getting 1mw
out of the K3 - however I,m only getting .8
mw.Today I will run the power cal maybe that
will help to get a little morepower out.
The K3 is preforming very nice on 630
meters.set your rx dial to 474.2 - upper side
band .On 630 meters I,m running 5 watts ERP
into a 60 ft top loaded vertical.Check out the
WSPR map around 8:PM to10:PM
There are a few photo and a little info on
qrz-dot-com.Thanks everyone
