[Meteor-Scatter] MS Procedures

[G4HGI]

Hi Walter and all

I agree 100 %  and the idea of 2 calling frequencys is a good one

There are so many stations on 370 now its very difficult to hear any
longdistance dx
and also stations are not qsy'ing off 370 to make the qso.

There is now an established procedure to call  CQ 365 etc so it would be
great if
everyone used it - to give everyone a chance

Also if a station wants to call cq endlessly for 30 mins in the 2nd period
like yesterday - put a spot on the cluster and specify a frequency!
dont clog up 370

Cheers to all and good reflections in the Quadrantids

i FULLY agree with your statement, all showers the same problem :O(

btw:
u live in jn78, myself in jn77, we copy us vy well if we are on wrong
period.

u will work to UA6, i will look for GM, so we need to work in other
tx-times.
earlyer on hscw we worked so, but 2day r so many qrv, they dont NOT know the
rules, and some operators wrote bad lines back, if u tell them abt the rules
.

so, i am sure:
we NEED 2! CQ-QRGs in the future.

144.370 for even periods
144.375 (or 380) for odd periods

only my 2c

ahja franz, i wish u a HNY-2004!
