Right. And this is a problem for some, for what, 10 days out of the 365?

Please, ya'll keep using .200 when you rotate your beams in our direction in search for contacts.  With you rotating your beam and me rotating mine and me having to tune around, your 5 second CQ call is easily missed and the chances we find each other are very slim at best. I for one really like the idea that there's one frequency I can count on for stations to appear when they point their beams at me or when propagation favors my direction.
