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

[Alan Cooper]

I have a question... what digital mode and calling freq do most people use
on 630m? it would seem to me to be an advantage to use something like JS8
on a watering hole freq to be able to listen for or just a common place to
listen for anyone for that matter, and then maybe have a qso that is more
than just an exchange of sig reports and done.

its quite possible that I am missing the point about how operations should
be on 630m...so whats up with that? does anyone know?
