Bill,
I could not believe it when you stated all modes allowed, so I
checked the CFR47, 90.307
https://ecfr.io/Title-47/se47.5.97_1305
630m allows RTTY, data (see 97.307 (3)
630m phone and image (see 97.307 (1)(2)
But seriously no 3-KHz phone should be used since one QSO would
occupy nearly 50% of the 7-KHz wide band. I'm astonished that the
FCC permits phone on 630m.
CW and digital is most efficient use of spectrum and weak signals.
97.313

(l) No station may transmit in the 472-479 kHz (630 m) band with a
transmitter power exceeding 500 W PEP or a radiated power exceeding 5
W EIRP, except that in Alaska, stations located within 800 kilometers
of the Russian Federation may not transmit with a radiated power
exceeding 1 W EIRP.
So this observes that 630m transmitting antenna are expected to be
very inefficient 500w resulting in < 5w erp. My inverted-L
calculates to be 3w erp with 100w.
So Mel +20 dBm (100mw) will result in about 3mw erp using my
antenna. Of course you may put up a full size vertical 521 foot high
(with 521 foot ground plane) or a 1142 foot dipole only 1000-foot
high. Most of us will use antenna under 10% full size with resulting
dismal efficiency.
But 5w erp can go a long distance on 630m; my signal was detected in
Buffalo, NY (about 4,000 miles).

Interesting in reading the FCC notice, ALL modes are allowed!!! ?So
some enterprising company should make a transverter for us??????? ?It
is only allowing 5W EIRP, a signal generator and do +20 dBm, Hummmmmmm.

Just submitted my data for both bands. I got the lat/long from
QRZ.com and checked it against the "Maidenhead" app on my cell phone.
