| 630 meters 1 October 2017 |
Steve VE7SL reminded us via his blog that US radio amateurs now have the use of two new radio frequency bands: the 2200 meter band and the 630 meter band. As always, Pete N6QW was way ahead of the game and is already working on a full-size 6 element quad for 2200. Good going Pete! Please send pictures (we may need a satellite photo to get the whole antenna in the shot).
As Steve points out there is already a lot of activity on the new bands -- the attached pictures are snaps of just ten minutes of WSPR activity this morning.
I'm especially intrigued by 630 meters -- it is so close to our beloved 455 kc IF frequency. Will some intrepid ham take advantage of this fact? Seems like some peaking and tweaking could do the trick...
