Oh, thanks for the quick response, even in daytime :-)
I already got email reports from newcomers, like DL2FBI. It seems to be something special for them (actually it is, of course!! :-) ) because many of them prepare videos (see here:
https://mediencenter.t-online.de/static/mc.html#share/show ) and send long emails. DL2FBI even reported about spontaeous experiments with different antennas (all for HF bands!). I bet this will motivate a few to become active on the band!
Hey, folks, let us think/discuss about a CW beacon section in the band (maybe 474...475 kHz) in 200 Hz wide channels where CW transmissions can be run.
In the message we could announce a common weekly activity day, e.g. sunday 18 UTC, alternatively x-band 80m/630m. That could result in a big pile up, newcomers and some website reports or radio magazine reports, resulting in even more activity.
A revolution! :-)
I'm curious about the incoming reports and do intend to run the message during the next 3 days or so. The email reports will give a direct feedback about the usefullness of such transmissions.

Hello Stefan,
Excellent copy, albeit the signal is just 8 dB over the band noise in a 1000 Hz bandwidth.
HSP does the rest!
