[600MRG] My first foray on 630 m band

[Chris Waldrup]

Hi Guys!!

I've been on the 600m list for years and with some recent help from my friends out in California on the Saturday AM Western Lowfer Net I have finally gotten on 630. 
Dave Curry got me a variometer that I rewired with suggestions from Jerry WA6OWR and Clint KA7OEI and now I resonated my 130 ft ladder line fed doublet and put down a start of a ground radial system. 
I'm outputting 300 mW from the Ultimate 3 I'm using as a test tonight and 4 radials so far. 
Now that I know my antenna works I can start to think about more power, more radials, and a transmit converter so I can have QSOs and not just WSPR. 
The inaugural transmission was within the last hour. I just wanted to share with you my excitement. 
So far have been heard by 10 stations.
