I got the information that DP0GVN is now listening on 630m WSPR.
Obviously the station does not appear on the map until there is an
upload of a decode. They seem not to use the regular wspr.exe as known
by most windows users.
But it is worth to try NOW!

Hi MF,
Since a few weeks the German Antarctic research station Neumayer III
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neumayer-Station_III)
is running a Red
Pitaya on a wideband RX antenna to receive/decode/upload WSPR reports
on up to 8 bands simultaneously. You may have noticed them already on
the WSPR map on other bands. I saw regular spots on 160m from DL
statations and other countries in EU.
They seem to have quite a good satellite internet connection. So
uploading WSPR spots is no problem. They also run an up to date webcam
showing an image for example here:

One of the maintainers of the radio station there is Felix / DL5XL. I
know him personally and, taking the idea of EA5DOM, i contacted him and
asked if they want to try to receive on 630m as well. Yesterday i got
an answer.
DP0GVN in IB59UH will receive WSPR(2) on 630m daily between 4...7
UTC now.
I asked them if they can extend the time to 20...07 UTC. Let's see.
So turn on your PAs and make a first contact from your
continent to Antarctica on 630m! And spread the message into other
reflectors, VK could be in a favorite position.
