    Fellows,

    This week I heard from a fellow who lives in an extremely urban location in a major US city. He has been receiving 630m OK and has completed application to https://utc.org/plc-database-amateur-notification-process/ for 630m transmit. His location seems a challenging one to me, and his determination to give the band a try from such a location is admirable and interesting.

    The 630m stations I have copied have been rural or suburban, so I have really no idea what might be accomplished from a densely urbanized location. But I would like to know. To that end, if you know of urban operators on 630, please have them share with us. If you too are in an urban location and interested in trying 630m please reach out. There is every reason to expect surprisingly good results. Thanks

    From time to time I transmit auto CW on 473Khz. Normally I start TX at the beginning in November.
    This year 2022 we had poor propagation on 630m band. Using 16.5M vertical antenna with four top load capacitors.
    I do not think that it would be possible to reach USA, but I try on send on 474Khz. in coming winter time.
