I plan on 74.549 as Hartmut is setup in that region of the band for tonite. He likes this region of the band and have heard the same from F6CNI [hope I have that correct]. But on the Markus grabber I saw allot of various "junk sigs" on the whole hz freqs. Last night I went down .1 Hz and Hartmut noticed it but did not comment. I was thinking of going up .2 hz and be right in the clear of that junk [74.5492]. I see the same happening on .548-for tonight Dex you could go with .2-.3 up or down. Or if you have other listeners try 73.625 and see how things shake out. Will give us all an idea of what is best for the QRSS window. Bob
