[SOC] We need your help!

[Morseman]

I'd have a go.  The times would be early evening until 1am (British Summer
Time) if it was in September, and 6pm to midnight (UTC) if in March.  So, I
would probably try to operate from home rather than be out until past
midnight.

Would any other European SOC members be up for it?
