Is there an up to date list of stations and frequencies of active beacon 
stations on 630 meters . I am looking for the ones running their beacons 
during the summer .

Also are any of them by chance running QRSS30 or 60 ?

I have the new Chinese X1M PRO transceiver that I am testing here .

It is a 4.5 watt transceiver that comes with filters for it to operate 
on the 80-40-20-15-10 meter ham bands on USB/LSB/CW .

However one change on the menu and it will put out a non filtered signal 
from 100 kHz. through 30 MHz. General coverage receiver from 100 kHz. to 
30 MHz.

It is about a half inch longer than a postcard and a quarter inch wider 
than one and is 1 1/2 inches tall .

Night before last I copied WSPR signals on it all night on 30 meters .

Last night I copied QRSS3 signals all night long on 30 meters . The 
stability was very good to great at QRSS3 .

So now I am wanting to do some more receive testing on the MF and LF 
bands with the receiver .I will eventually try all of the MF/LF bands 
when signals and conditions permit .

We do have the chance of thunderstorms later this evening so this may 
not be a good night , but I would just like to know who I can listen for 
and on what mode and frequency as conditions permit .

So far for $ 300 from a USA dealer it is looking very good as a QRP 
transceiver . It also has a DB-9 port on the back and will match 
partially with some of the Icom commands from HRD . The signal level is 
TTL .

Thanks ,
