[600MRG] PDF from Ralph attached - received

Thanks, Ken.

Nice to have 600MRG back in service for general chit-chat and 
operational skeds and reports.

Some health issues and uncooperative wx has slowed any work 
outside.  Invert-L is laying on ground and over house roof as the 
tower that supports has antennas lowered for maint. and 
upgrades.  Can only work when winds are calm and not too cold (-8F as 
I write this at 9:20am in Alaska).  Not sure if my fingers can handle 
working in this cold (otherwise nice sunny day starting about 10am; 
days are still short - 6-hours daylight).  Big joke up here is that 
"winter is antenna time".

My 630m station has been upgraded so will use Elecraft K3 for both Rx 
and Tx (producing up to 1mw drive) to converted 100w NDB transmitter 
into 43 by 122 foot inverted-L (strung between two towers NE to 
SW).  I also have a SDR-IQ for Rx and band display.  K3 is fully 
integrated with computer to run sw for CW or digital modes.  K3 has 
external 10-MHz freq. reference which maintains 0.1ppm so freq is 
very accurate on 630m (+/- 0.05 Hz)

I intend to start by beaconing WSPR on 471-KHz with the WD2XSH/45 
callsign.  Ham contacts will be attempted on 472-476 KHz.  My antenna 
bandwidth is limited to 5-KHz.  I have WSJT-X loaded as well as 
FLdigi which offers many digital modes, incl. CW.  My EIRP will be approx 4w.
