ZL2 sunset is nominally 0628 UTC, and sunrise nominally 1831 UTC (more details in the list at the end of the notice). Dual frequency keying will be used, with 120 second dots, with 0.4 Hz and sending QQQQQQ. as hi, hi, lo, hi, gap. One Q takes 10 minutes. hi = 137.7890 kHz lo = 137.7886 kHz Each Q will start on the hour and be maintained close to 10 minute multiples throughout each hour, so absolute timing may be useful for analysis of difficult reception situations. SUNRISE AND SUNSET TIMES (UTC) DX stations can decide on their best times for monitoring. The following list is a sequence of sunrise and sunset times for 23 March, for various countries, by call sign prefix : I sunrise 0508 UTC DL sunrise 0530 UTC F sunrise 0548 UTC G sunrise 0601 UTC EA sunrise 0613 UTC GM sunrise 0614 UTC IE sunrise 0623 UTC ZL2 sunset 0628 UTC VE1 sunrise 1012 UTC W4 sunrise 1136 UTC W6 sunrise 1359 UTC VE7 sunrise 1410 UTC KH6 sunrise 1630 UTC I sunset 1711 UTC DL sunset 1733 UTC F sunset 1752 UTC G sunset 1806 UTC EA sunset 1816 UTC GM sunset 1819 UTC EI sunset 1827 UTC ZL2 sunrise 1831 UTC It would seem that European listeners miss out on dark paths with ZL before their sunrise, but there are dark paths at and after European dusk. Reception reports can be emailed to vernall@xtra.co.nz or posted to the reflector. Good luck to all prospective listeners. 73, Bob ZL2CA
