For convenience stick around 136.316 plus or= minus a few=20 to make it easy for the observer in a single window to look=20 for multiple station acty.  
This has been the procedure over the years and= has worked=20 well. The USA ops will be able to advise.
In the early days the USA did not have the 136= allocation=20 and so I called CQ on 136 and awaited a reply on usually 7 Mhz an= d I had=20 many  QSO'S.
I use the same procedure today but now it is= possible to=20 work simplex on the same band or QSX is desired. I can work 136 , 500= and HF all=20 at the same time. I have separate antennas and equipment for all these= =20 frequencies.
I normally work from 2230 to 0200 utc for TA= =20 acty then close down.
I do not Beacon so I am able to respond to a= call=20 immediately and commence a QSO when my CQ is detected.
I hope this helps
The speed varies depending on condx,  In= my case=20 between QRS3 and QRS60 usually does the trick

        I wi= ll be QRV=20 fonite fm 2230 gmt on 136.318 Khz in QSO mode as usual CQ G3KEV,= CQ KEV, or=20 KEV until signal is detected then proceed with QSO.
Operation attended at all times and also= xband 7022=20 Khz,
I will announce when QRT,  
Last test a couple of nites ago resulted= in 9=20 Observations mostly from the USA via private emails, and some via= reflector=20 and some on 7022 Khz.  I prefer reports in direct QSO mode,= simplex or=20 xband.
