Sorry for the off-topic message; just attempting to distribute this
information effectively. Thank you.
Several Amateur Radio operators will be running Part 5 experimental 630M
CW beacons during the ARRL Field day event:
WG2XKA (op WA3ETD), 1W ERP 472.5 kHz VT
WG2XJM (op NO3M), 20-30W ERP 473.0 kHz PA
WG2XIQ (op KB5NJD), 1W ERP 474.0 kHz TX
WD2XSH/20 (op N6LF), 20W ERP 475.0 kHz OR
The WG2XJM 630M station consists of an Elecraft K3 operating in
transverter mode (IF 10 MHz) with a VK3XDK 630M linear transverter. A 10
MHz GPSDO (Thunderbolt) sources a K3EXREF module as well as providing LO
for the transverter.
Reception reports and/or message copy is very much appreciated.
Elaborate equipment is not required, many Amateurs already listening on
the prospective 630M band are effectively doing so with existing or
simple antennas for reception, including 80M dipoles, HF verticals,
K9AYs, BOGs, 80/160 beverages, et.al. Many current HF radios with
general coverage receivers (incl. ElecraftKX3) will also tune to the
472-479 kHz range. Best reception will be between sunset and sunrise
(Saturday evening - Sunday morning).
Please pass this information on to your Field Day group, local and/or
regional nets, and fellow Amateurs. This operating event is being
orchestrated to promote awareness of 630M operations, and is neither
sanctioned nor in affiliation with the ARRL or Field Day directly. Many
countries currently have secondary 630M Amateur allocations (including
Canada) and the US should eventually follow suit.
Reports can be sent to their respective station operators above.
Thank you and have a fun and safe Field Day.
