If you have a PME system, your ground is probably quite good.  
Don't under estimate the value of using your mains earth if you have to.

If anyone needs convincing that getting on 630m is easier than you think please take heart from my results.

In the last 2 weeks I have received 31 unique WSPR spots from as far away as Norway. Measured ERP is around 10mW.  The antenna and ground? The coax to my 2m big-wheel which is about 0.5m above ground for about half its length. At its highest it is about 4m over ground. The total coax run is less than 10m. The only grounds are a mains earth and one earth rod about 10m from the shack.  My ATU is a multi-tapped ferrite rod on the desk. My transverter is my simple design in "LF Today".

Although I tried calling CQ on 630m FT8 earlier this evening, sadly I got no response. Another evening I'll be more successful. Earlier I saw a weak FT8 trace.

630m is for all!  BTW, my noise floor is S7.

Not the DX of the "big boys", but fun. Ultimately this is why we are in our hobby.
