Is anyone active or interested in this band at present. I will be in GI land in a couple of weeks time and could be active on 136 khz and possibly 73 khz but I am not enthusastic judging by the interest /activity in recent times on either band. Since I operate a one man band it takes a couple of full days to get the antennas installed and tuned up. The last time that I was active the response was poor. By now I thought half of europe would be on 136 khz but the reverse has happened. There is also the anti social aspect, some active on LF do not like CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM and the operating of cw and procedure is poor. This has probably got even worse!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe Wolf and Wobble and a bit of Bark would suit some better !!!!!!!!! If I activate the GI station I shall be sticking to normal cw for contacts around EU and maybe very slow visual cw for dx if necessary. 73 de Mal/G3KEV/Scarborough
