Subj: [NCCC-blue] Off-Topic - ARRL Field Day 630M  Beacons


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

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  running simple antennas for reception, 
including 80M dipoles, HF  verticals, et.al.  Many current HF radios with 
general coverage  receivers 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 and the US 
should eventually follow suit.

Reports can  be sent to their respective station operators.

Thank you and have a fun  and safe Field Day.
