[Elecraft] Experiment: can we create an instant "band opening" on 40 meters?

[wayne burdick]

Apologies in advance, but I always wanted to try this. Perhaps it's 
been done.

Suppose everyone listening on the reflector now decided to get on 40 
meters all at the same time--SSB and CW? It's not a contest: call it a 
spontaneous operating event. What made me think of it is that I'm 
tuning around on 40 meters using scan mode on my K2, and I'm only 
hearing a few stations. But conditions aren't that bad.

Interested in the possibilities? Spin your VFO knob. If the resulting 
frequency ends in an odd number, call CQ. If it ends in an even number, 
answer one. That simple.

Like I said, my sincere apologies if this experiment goes south....but 
just in case, I'll be tuning 40 m for awhile.
