Sure, I can see the EMCOMM shack on the belt types with their mobile
"high efficiency" 630 meter antennas now! Anyone calculate the battery

200 miles will not even cover Florida from Tallahassee to Miami ...
I can't imagine a use for 630 meters other than as a curiosity. It
is a shame that ARRL and IARU wasted all of the political capital on
630 meters rather than securing an worldwide exclusive 50 - 100 KHz
wide allocation somewhere useful like 60 meters.
