Hi reflectees !

I am not sure whether its OK to post this info here. But lately I saw an
info about  600m beacon stations from Canada appear on this reflector.

I have put a 600m beacon on the air with the official call DI2BJ, the QRG is
505.030  kHz. It operates  from about 1800z to 2100z  and from 0500z to
0700z. Mode is as of yet regular cw. One can view the 600m band on a very
good website with 3 grabbers in the UK at  .

Any activity in EU is clearly visible on the spectrograms displayed there.
The other source for 600m info would be  http://www.500kc.com

As all topbanders are always on the search for tougher challenges, this is a
worthwhile project on the side, to sharpen tech skills and keep body fat
index low by stringing large antennas in them woods :-)

BTW hats off to TX3A , they put local-like signals into EU on 160 ! Its
really astounding what happens when somebody plays by the physics book !
