Rob,  Are those frequencies the Old RDF or Loran ones? Dave WA2GTZ.

>> I was notified today that I was issued call sign WH2XXC  for experimental radio operations under part 5 of the FCC rules on 630 meters from 472-479 kHz.  These frequencies are those proposed for the new amateur radio band on 630 meters.  Maximum power output is 500 watts and 5 watts ERP (effective radiated power).  As most amateur antennas are relatively small in comparison to the wavelength at 630 meters, antenna efficiency can easily fall within the range of 1-5%.  Expect to receive the actual license in 2-3 weeks once my proposed antenna is found acceptable by the FAA and radio operations are approved by the NTIA.  I am presently building a down converting transmitter for the band and finalizing plans to modify my 160 meter top loaded vertical.  I will join a multitude of experimental licensees already operating on 630 meters.
