[600MRG] 630m beacons

[Bayard Coolidge, N1HO]

 I was QRT last night because of a line of severe thunderstorms in central TN, off to the westof me (in Hendersonville, NC, just south of Asheville). It was unclear if those storms would bevisiting us here in the mountains, but we did get steady rain that has continued all morning, andshifted the resonance of my antenna system. I did do some work on my rig, reseating a coupleof boards, and generally tightening/rewiping various connections, etc. The local NDB, "BRA"at 379 kHz. was measured at about -45dBm, or ~30dB over S9. I have a supply of small capacitorsarriving Tuesday with which I'll rebuild my VE7VV bandpass filter, which will hopefully help reducethe overloading, etc.
However, conditions seem to be gradually improving, and I'm hoping to hear a lot more folkson FST4W-120.

On FST4W-120, K9KFR and N9RU were decoded.
On WSPR,  VE7BDQ, N6LF, K0HW, WB0TEM, W0IOO, KE7A, K8HTL, and VK4YB.
This is the first time I've decoded VK4YB in almost a year.
I was heard by 31 listeners with the best DX WA3U.
