Hi Wolf and Colin=0A=A0=0AYou may know that there is CW rag-chewing on 500 =
at about 9:00am=A0local time for 1/2 to an hour long on Sunday mornings. G =
Stations out of Nottingham and the Mid Beds areas. Take a listen=A0? Probab=
ly not a good time for DL. I think Wolf's suggestion is a very good one lik=
e calling on the hour for 5 minutes that way we have a better chance of a c=
asual QSO than random calling.=0AAt Sun down onwards there is quite a lot o=
f CW (human ops) on 472.5+/- just LF of the "BIA" NDB Lower side band. If y=
ou can hear the NDB you will hear the DL ops at about the same strength. Th=
e beacon is annoying but conversely it's a good band indicator.=0A=A0=0A73 =
