Ok, let's get started on 40 meters.  We can always branch out to echolink, 
which I'd suggest over skype, just because it's a ham radio facility.  Also, 
I don't think there's a limit on zello rooms if anyone uses that.  But how 
about some folks who hang out on 40 suggesting a frequency above 7175.

At night I can likely work the country, let's say 9:00 eastern, 0100 UTC.

Ok, let me throw out 7.205.  That seems usually pretty clear around here.

Also, how about Tuesday night.  That's probably better than a weekend.

John:

That's the beauty of what I proposed. Us east coasters and mid westers can 
start it off at around 0:130Z  and hang out then as the time and  conditions 
change, the west coast can join in. I can copy the west coast pretty gd most 
nights at around 11:30 my time, which is 0:200Z.
No obligation no nothing. Someone can just post to the list, "I'm on 7.175 
or up" and then listen, if some of us listers want to start a hang out, then 
off we go. I'd like to get to know some of each other on the air and bring a 
sense of familiarity. All the groups around on 40M, if you don't know them 
and they don't know you, there's a since of not being welcome. I think it 
would be nice for us to start something like that.
We don't do it anymore here in NL or in the Maritimes from my knowledge and 
when I 1ST got my ticket, there were lots of groups that you could jump in 
and hang out with. Also, if some of us are good at multi tasking, they could 
jump on the echolink. LOL
I here folks chatting all the time and emailing pics back and forth, 
browsing the net and so on.
