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

[John Langridge]

Hi Alan,

David, W5DFN, was the champion of JS8 but has been away for a season
or two.  Because of limited interest, I believe that it was found
around 476 USB, about where phone QSO's were typically found on the
West coast.  Of course there were never any interference issues
reported that I am aware of and there was so little JS8, it was never
a real issue.

I had a document with this info on my website before it went dark in
February.  I don't know if it got picked up by someone but I have put
some of that stuff in the bottom section of my QRZ bio.  I had best
intentions to add more but have not gotten around to it.

Come join us on CW... We shoot the bull in the evenings and pre-dawn
mornings most days.  I just finished a ten minute QSO with N9RU about
his new winkey toy...  I would love to have a reason to listen back
West and work someone out that way...Its been pretty dry compared to
the east during the morning.

73 and good luck!

John KB5NJD..
