Hi, I'm hoping a new 600 meter allocation will give some nice "regional" rag chew QSOs. My receiver is already working and now looking at designs and schemes for transmitting a signal when the time comes. I have been receiving low powered signals from some of the experimental stations at about 1000 miles distant sometimes. NDBs at 25 watts are good day or night out to 1200 miles. I won't be disappointed if we cannot work other hams globally. There are other bands that are good for that.
