Andy,

Well ... after the initial beacon bedlam ... (ground wave induced I might 
add)  things  sort of settled down , the beacons migrated to the edges of 
the band , cw tended to  congregate round 502 Khz with  85 hz shift rtty 
featuring round this frequency as well, the nightly GI/GM  qso was cantered 
round  501.5

The gathering of wspr round 503.6 is a comparatively new  'thing'  which may 
of been jelled by Gary operating close to  his normal 'qrss' beacon 
frequency of 503.6 , to  date it was only myself and Jim  who could generate 
and transmit any mode , Chris operated  rtty fsk but usually round 502.  I 
tended to  centre round 503 for any data tests.

A lot of stations where/are xtal controlled,  and as such a band plan would 
not of been much use, locality  was and is  the main problem. Gary and my 
self for example having virtually a clear band to  experiment in !

I would suggest that  wspr activity is migrated to the top 200 Hz of the 
band .. that's if the qrp beacon that lived there  has stopped sending..  to 
give the widest separation from other users, centred on  503.9 Khz carrier 
frequency ?

Graham ..
