Hi Christian,

At 0000, 0030, 0100  etc.  I will call CQ on 477.7 and listen on 472.5
If conditions are poor at the time, they could improve in 30 mins.
(or get worse!).  A CW beacon will be in operation between these
times and reports gratefully received.

It will be good to hear you again, Finbar, Lubos and anyone else
are most welcomed to join in tonight.

73 and Good Luck
Joe

what do you mean exactly by "on the half hours"?
472.5 is ok for me, maybe Finbar will join there;-)
