G'day

With the present 'spotty' conditions which might continue for another year
or two, I think this is a great idea.  I am often busy with family chores
in the US sunrise window, but monitor 1824 when I can, as there is usually
some activity around there if the band is open - often from Tom.

Let's find a frequency and give it a go.  If we use a similar type of
operation to that used on six metres - i.e. if the propagation is good
enough to attract a pile-up, the 'DX' nominates a new frequency and goes
QSY, it should work OK.
