As you can see, there are no HKP servers in SE.  You can use
the wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net but this gives a problem because round-robin DNS
may tell you to use one of the servers which are down at most times
;-)

I'd suggest to look for a stable one.  From my experience the
eu servers  wwwkeys.ch.pgp.net and blackhole.pca.dfn.de
are quite stable.
