The lower band edge for me is 7.175 MHz. I usually stay a bit away from the
band edges. I will make it a point to be on a t 7 am tomorrow. Otherwise I
am happy (and interested) to try evening as a prop test.

I'm usually on in the evenings around 7168 +/-. The band might be way too
long for us to talk by that time though. I've been talking with Dave, G0EVY
pretty much every night. He runs a very informal "net"  
that has no official frequency and no official start or end time. :) I can
certainly try and get on at 7am though.
