Are there any >prefered times/fqs to try to listen on the band?< Petr, yesterday a new station came up who I believe is closest to your qth. Ulf, DL3KS finished setting up his station in JO61, in the triangle between Dresden, Chemnitz and Leipzig. I guess, that he is less that 250 km from your location (without having the ability to verify this by calculating at the moment). He put out quite a strong slow-CW signal yesterday evening at 137.681 kHz, that was partly audible in my qth (JO52BH). Ulf can be contacted through packet radio. Are you able to receive slow-CW? All you need a program such as Spectrogram (freeware) and a computer with soundcard. If you have access to the internet, there are many sites with links to those programs and other longwave information (my own site has a "link"-page, http://dk8kw.home.pages.de). If you do not have access to the internet but own a computer with soundcard, I can send you a disc with the program by mail. All slow-CW activity now takes around 137.700, as a "calling" frequency for normal CW, 136.500 +/- seems to have established. I recently started to enter stations I heard or saw into the DX packet-cluster, so watch out for messages entered by DK8KW. Best 73 Geri, DK8KW (W1KW, OK8AHC ;-)
