I will be on WSQcall with dial 474.5kHz, 0.5 baud, sounding every 10 min

QTH, or grid square.

>>   I will be monitoring both 474 KHz and 474.5 KHz on separate systems overnight.  You never know what might happen and I want to be there if/when it happens.    No internet last night so I don't know what was reported. Outage started about 0800 z or there abouts.
