Several Amateur Radio operators will be running Part 5 experimental 630M CW
beacons during the ARRL Field day event:

WG2XKA (op WA3ETD), 1W ERP 472.5 kHz VT
WG2XJM (op NO3M), 20-30W ERP 473.0 kHz PA
WG2XIQ (op KB5NJD), 1W ERP 474.0 kHz TX
WD2XSH/20 (op N6LF), 20W ERP 475.0 kHz OR

Reception reports and/or message copy is very much appreciated.  Elaborate
equipment is not required, many Amateurs listening on the prospective 630M
band are running simple antennas for reception, including 80M dipoles, HF
verticals, et.al.  Many current HF radios with general coverage receivers
will also tune to the 472-479 kHz range.  Best reception will be between
sunset and sunrise (Saturday evening - Sunday morning).

Please pass this information on to your Field Day group, local and/or
regional nets, and fellow Amateurs.  This operating event is being
orchestrated to promote awareness of 630M operations, and is neither
sanctioned nor in affiliation with the ARRL or Field Day directly.  Many
countries currently have secondary 630M Amateur allocations and the US
should eventually follow suit.

Reports can be sent to their respective station operators.

Thank you and have a fun and safe Field Day.
