Hi all,

Sitting here this morning and think back about last night, and the lack of CW activity on the band. Maybe it's time to start a meeting time on a frequency, that frequently stations could hang around and select a time that ops can meet up on that frequency, just like the bash hour is on 40m during summer. Then QSY up or down the band with the station you're in contact with. This might increase CW activity on the band and maybe use 3528 the Fists calling frequency. During this time stations could make contacts then QSY leaving the frequency free for other stations to call. During time when FISTS have there usual skeds just use 3525 as alternate standby frequency.
Just a thought.

the Time Idea would work, if everyone in the same TimeZone,
but - across TZs then a standard operating frequency, may work better.
- like using 7050 on 40m
or using 050 as the standard offset on any band.
even using 015 does work as a band offset.

but - that gets messy when talking to OPs in other jurisdictions.
as there band plans do differ from those in the VK area.
