Here in ZL we have been using 472.5 kHz USB dial frequency to keep away 
from an AM broadcast intermod product on 477 kHz that affects reception 
of a Wellington station, but 474.0 kHZ USB sounds like a sensible 
frequency. It is just below the WSPR segment so should not affect WSPR 
reception unduly.

There are only two stations in ZL who are active, and it is an excellent 
daytime chat mode, with groundwave extending at least out to 400km (for 
1/2 to 1 watt radiated).

It is early days for this mode so any feedback is more than welcome. A 
G/ZL QSO on 630m would be great but probably unlikely. But even one-way 
reception would be a milestone. I will reset my receiver to 474 kHz USB 
and see what there is to see!
