Like when There is usually someone there by 1:30 am Greenwich Mean Time, which is 18:30 (6:30 PM) Mountain Standard Time (GMT+7) on Tuesdays. I would think that would be about 3:30 or 4:30 AM in Sweden, though I don't know for sure. I do know it's awfully early, though. There is usually someone there until about 5:30 GMT. The Thursday night chat is generally less-busy than Tuesdays, just so you know. I might mention that the channel is *always* open and of course, technicians world-wide are free to use it at any time. If people in Europe and Africa (or Australia or Japan for that matter) wanted to use it during a time that is more convenient for them that would be wonderful. Most North American technicians would be working at that time, but there are some of us who would make a point to join you. Talking with technicians from other parts of the world is quite fascinating. We've had people from Canada, USA, Mexico, France, South Africa (Hi Brian!), Australia and Japan and even China at various times over the years and it's been great fun talking about our craft in real time with people who are in different countries. Hope to see you there some day!
