Around my neck of the woods there is often nobody on local(ish) to chat to. Sometimes hours can past with none and then a pile up with many on.

For local on UK Ch14 or 19 give a call out every few minutes that usually works for me, here it's mainly 19 but some near you use 14 as a calling channel.

MIDS/CEPT/EURO or whatever you want to call it is mainly for UK networks and overseas stations which is best afternoons and evenings.
