[600MRG] 630m WAS List 06Dec21 attached ... and request

[N1BUG]

I am inactive for two reasons. Firstly to be frank I long ago lost 
interest in 630m due to the one-size-fits-all mentality that split 
operation is the only way to operate. I assure you for those like me in 
high RFI environments it ain't necessarily so and kills QSO potential. 
Secondly the antenna disaster I had a year ago showed me that I cannot 
risk having the LF/MF transmitting antenna up. $3K worth of damage from 
one wire antenna breaking cannot be allowed to happen again! I'm on a 
fixed income and this was absolutely devastating. I plan to fix whatever 
ails my big K9AY loop so I can listen and provide reports from time to time.

That said, my comments should no doubt be discounted since I cannot make 
QSOs. However, for what it's worth...

I love the idea of including [2200m] as that was my primary band of 
focus. For me, less RFI and more fun.

There are probably others who have gone inactive, so ordering by last 
QSO date would seem to make some sense to me. If you want to delete 
those who have not made QSOs in whatever time frame (that would be me) 
that is OK as far as I am concerned.

Full state name seems like a waste of valuable space to me.

73,
Paul N1BUG
