Yep nothing on 600m.

It's a dead band like the parrot it's an ex band. Since the Data curse has=
 fallen upon=A0600m, CW is dead. I was hoping that 600m would be a nice ba=

 Mal, Chris and others=A0but it is not to be. CW qso's are few and far bet=
ween and a lot of (wasted)=A0time is spent either calling or listening for=
 these few treasured contacts on 600m. The ludicrous one way non communica=
tion using old Joe=A0Taylor's PC software=A0defeats my comprehension. I am=
 very tempted to say it's a bad job and Jack 600m in but=A0I will maintain=

Well 73 600m CW R.I.P.

PS don't forget to reapply for your 60m NOV it doesn't appear to be an aut=
