Hello Urban

Speaking as the "LF Editor of Radcom" I don't remember ever receiving such a
message, but it is a good idea!
All we have to do is decide on the times....

As a general rule at weekends, I have always thought that it would be a good
idea to call around the "top of the hour" so if anyone was just casually
listening they could get into the habit of being less casual at 10 o-clock,
11 o-clock etc. 

The biggest problem is everyone sitting around their receivers complaining
that there's nobody on! Try calling!!
Oh, and if you call me I probably won't hear you because of Rugby, I must
get my loop working again.

Dave G3YXM.

Hello all !

More on lack of activity..........

I have on the reflector suggested (three times) that we should concentrate
on specific activity times instead of everybody calling randomly in vain. I
suggested this two or three years ago after having gone to the summer-QTH a
lot of times (wintertime) and there calling NUMEROUS CQ:s, hearing
absolutely nothing ! (I cannot be QRV from home due to lack of space and
also very high QRM-levels making it impossible to hear anything but the
strongest ones , OH1TN, YU7AR and some more). 

The first time the response was that the band is rather busy (!) so special
activity times is not necessary !!!! 

The second and third times have given absolutely no response  !! 

I have also mailed the LF-editor of RadCom and suggested that we concentrate
on specific activity times. No response !! 

Anyone interested in more activity on 136, or are all totally satisfied
trying to hear meaningless messages across "the water" ?
