Normally 136.3 khz and around that area has been used by EU stns for QRS 
acty and USA listeners. Since then a data stn has started up and makes it 
difficult for other EU stns to copy through the bursts of QRM. Normally the 
USA stns use 137.7 khz area.
This procedure was used when the band was vy busy some years ago to avoid 
QRM to normal CW acty. Because band occupancy is vy low at present I do not 
suppose anyone is going to complain about using up to 136.8 khz. If the band 
suddenly became vy active then the QRS stns could move lower.
My opinion and I must get my 136 TX fired up one of these days.
Your signal is still strong here and no noticeable QSB all evening, very 
constant signal. This LF band is more reliable and consistant than 500 khz 
which seems to suffer badly from fade most of the time. More power is needed 
on 500 khz to help over come the QSB problem.

Hello Mal, LF

I will consider a new frequency for tomorrow, right now I know some people 
have
set up their systems logging overnight in the hope to find something there 
in
the morning and I can only want to make short excursions elsewhere.

Keep the QRG suggestions coming. How about 136.80 or 137.00kHz? I'm not 
familiar
with the LORAN QRM etc. you are experiencing there. 136.50kHz got thumbs 
down
already yesterday so it needs to be higher than that.
