Just a final reminder of tomorrow night's 630m Midwinter Event, including the 630m-HF crossband activity.

We hope to work you!

Canadian stations will call CQ on announced frequencies within the 630m band
and listen on individual HF (QSX) frequencies for callers.

Due to the RTTY and Sprint activities on the same night, some of the QSX
frequencies have been shifted from those that might normally have been used
in the past.

There will also be a large turnout of U.S. experimental activity, either in
beacon mode or in two-way QSO mode with other experimental service
stations.

In past events, several Transcontinental crossband contacts have been
completed. It is hoped that operating events such as this can serve to
demonstrate the interesting propagation possibilities of this unique part of the spectrum and generate
more new interest in the 630m band.
