I listen regularly, usually Fridays (Thursday evening NAm time) on 7730 at 0000z. Will be doing so again tonight, although I have to set the SDR to record because I have a 6:00pm (0000z) appointment to keep. I just don't often feel like logging easy SWBC catches. Rare or unusual broadcasts are much more likely to be reported.
