G'day all,

I saw a trace on 137.7876KHz (+/- .5Hz?) from about 0820z to 0840z on 4 Oct
05.   Active vertical, suburbia Hobart, sunset 0819z.

   Hi all,      sunset and sunrise sequence is as  follows:   and the

path becomes dark to VA7LF 1417 UTC VA7LF sunrise, so nearly 8 hours of dark path to ZL (path is mostly north/south) 1453 UTC RU6LA sunset and

the path becomes  darl to ZL   1754 UTC ZL sunrise, so only 3 hours of dark
path with RU6LA (path is mostly east/west)                 This means that
third party monitoring could see what they get from any or all
particpants, and  as a compromise it may be best to set 60 second dot
length as that is more  likely to be the QSO attempt rate than 120 seconds
