It was a red-letter day today as I achieved
my 1000th QSO using 600m.
This includes 72 cross-band contacts, virtually
all of which were 600m / 80m.
Rog GW3UEP was my 1000 th QSO with
runners up G3XPU - No. 999 and EI0CF - No. 998.
QSO break-down
according to mode: 928 CW, 34 RTTY
and 5 QRSS
600m STATIONS
My personal 600m
(EU) spreadsheet lists a total of 59 stations and many of these go back to
the start of the UK 600m allocation in March 2007.
Of these I have
worked or heard only 15 in the past month (excluding beacons).
Many
stations on my list came up only briefly and were never heard of again:
G3KZU, G3YHV . . .
Others were once very active but have subsequently gone
QRT: G3UNT, G3VTT, G4GDR. . .
MOST FREQUENTLY
WORKED
With so few active operators it is obvious that one will
work the same stations many times and the top 10 stations account for 70% of
my total contacts.
My most frequently worked stations are:
GW3UEP -
120 G3KEV - 102 M0FMT -
90 G3ZWH - 80 (alas now
SK)
G3DXZ - 67 G4GDR
- 60 EI0CF/ GI4DPE -
51 M0JXM - 48
G3UNT -
45 G3VTT - 38
CROSS-BAND
AND EU STATIONS
There are a few 'regular' stations who listen to
600m and enjoy a cross-band QSO:
DK6NI, F6CNI, F6ACU, OH1LSQ, PA0LCE, G3TVF
. . .
and our few EU MF friends are still active:
ON4KTJ, OR7T and
OZ8NJ. . .
WSPR ON 600m
I personally find it sad that the
present level of enthusiasm for the WSPR mode was never achieved for
hand sent Morse (CW), which after all is the mode which I call to mind when
thinking of the old MF marine band.
If the WSPR 'enthusiasm' phase lasts,
with more and stronger stations operating 24/7 in the narrow 3 kHz segment
which is the 600m band then I guess it may be time for me to QSY.
