So I am pleased to hear that Lawrence may be beaconing some time in the future. Its a long time since I did any listening/looking T/A.and welcome the opportunity . I think it would be best to keep clear of top end of the band which might be in use for local QRSS contacts,and also when looking for VA3LK I had strong Loran interference on 137.7446. So I would suggest we continue to use the old T/A slot below 136 and would prefer 135.922 since that freq is quiet here and reasonably clear of SXV. 73 Laurie.
