WSPR stations received at KK1W on a typical evening<\/p><\/div>\n

Submit your longest confirmed QSO to Jim Mullen via email or USPS by March 15th 2018
\nEmail: kk1w.jim@gmail.com or USPS to 144 Tower Hill Rd, Brimfield, MA 01010
\nEnclose an SASE for return of any submitted cards<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

No need to submit cards unless you can’t copy or scan them. Use the tools linked in the original article to calculate your longest distance confirmation.<\/p>\n

To keep things interesting it would be great if everyone who participated, whether or not you confirmed contacts or simply listened on the band, sends me the following:<\/p>\n

1. Number of QSO’s made and if possible broken down by mode.
\n2. Longest QSO (unconfirmed or confirmed).
\n3. Brief station description (if I don’t already have it).
\n4. If SWL a brief overview of activity and mode.<\/p>\n

Going forward prospective MF operators (630m & 2200m) can make use of this information an an indication of what to expect when they are QRV on Medium Frequency.<\/p>\n

The prize will be awarded along with a quick overview of activity at our April 6th meeting. This is also our Show & Tell meeting. Why not enter something you built for 630m? Maybe you can go home with multiple prizes\u00a0\"\"\ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many thanks to everyone participating. You folks are pioneers on a new amateur band. Exciting stuff our hobby and our club, keep up the good work!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
