630 Meter Special Event 11/13/2016
« on: November 13, 2016, 1305 UTC »
Thanks for the heads up in "General Discussions" Terry, https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,31024.0.html
This was interesting.

Heard a few stations anyway on 472, 473, 475 and 476 kHz. My longwire does ok on these freq. but it's not that great.

Had a few ok decodes @ 0400z to 0420z with FLDigi. Weak signals and FLDigi had problems with spacing.

I like the first decode with the Seinfeld reference.

Your welcome. I always have fun listening. I really need to build a 600 m antenna so I can try to copy on 600 meters. I monitored 472 kHz WSPR with just my 5 band vertical last night. Furthest of the 4 different stations copied  was in AZ at 3204 km.
I was looking around on the web today and found this report on the special event from one of the amateur experimental 630 meter stations. Long but interesting. You may have been copying some of that activity too.
