SM6BHZ calling CQ a short time ago on 136.5 khz RST 599, very strong signal and no one responding. It appears most have lost interest in LF compared to a couple of years ago.

73 khz is never mentioned these days although there is an abundance of operators with NOV'S

at the present time and only one year left for action. 136 khz acty is also very poor and hardly worth the effort. There seems to be a very low up take around EU to engage in 136 in spite of the fact that the band has been going for a number of years.

Listen on 1.8 khz and up and the bands are more active than ever, it is difficult to find a slot on either CW or SSB plus all the other modes plugging away.
