Tests of December 1923 and successfully heard in North America.
* G6XX: activated in the fourth Transatlantic Tests, 6XX was given a special
permit to use an input power of 1kW.
* G6ZZ: used on 5 July 1924, 6ZZ was the callsign of the "Scotch Express" on
its journey from London to Newcastle; it was the first experiment in
operating an amateur radio station from a moving railway train.
