I think Stefan is saying (and I would agree) that if Bob moved to 137.4 to 137.6 (ie. 136.0 dial), he would have more potential receivers in Europe. For example, PI4THT and possibly other unmamned monitors are continuously watching this range.

It was WSPR that gave the world the concept of 'dial frequency' for data mode operation , the exact qrg is not relevant , only that it falls inside the decoder window , set the rx to 136.2 and retire immediately .......dont forget these are beacon stations , so are not bound by the normal band allocations .. and are not licensed for qso 's ( which would be a interesting situation using the new JT mode beacon/beacon ) G.
