John:
This is good to know.
I'm going to have to rely on others from the list to do the testing, since
today, we have the 20-meter cross-country net, and since I'm working during
the week at 2100Z.
It's always good to check these things out.
It's a shame that the foreign broadcasts take over so much above 7.200 at
that time of the day.
Wasn't that supposed to end in 2009 or 2010, or am I missing something?

You might want to have a QSO there as well and try it if it is dead, with
the eastern area NTS net we used to send people off to 7.188 to pass
traffic, it would be dead, we'd listen for a while, ask and it would be
dead, start using it and guys are mad because we were interfering with a
net. I'm not saying this would happen on weekends with us later in the day,
I'm just wondering if someone thinks they own the frequency or something, so
I'd test it out, it does generally seem dead.
