630M GROUND WAVE EVALUATION 2023:

Fellows,
Twenty seven individual stations participated in the 630m GWEN during 2023. FST4-60 (F1) was used for most contacts, with CW a distant second. Contacts were made throughout the year, with slightly less activity in summer than in winter. Winter propagation was a bit better than summer propagation, but at all times contacts could be made. The list below is not intended to reflect on the capabilities of any particular station, but rather to provide a snapshot of what was done with 630m ground wave during 2023. That being said, it comes as no surprise who sits at the top of the list! Thanks to each and every one who participated. 2024 will be a good year too. BCNU on 630m GW!
