"THE FACTS are that I have worked 21 countries on 136 khz two way qso,s. and several EU dx xband with my signal on 136 khz. My reports are generally at least 2 S POINTS up on any other station from England, and include many Firsts between the rest of EU and England.  To date I have made a few hundred contacts two way on 136 khz.  Currently the activity on LF is very low around EU and I doubt if any more than 7 stations are active at present. These results have been achieved using normal hand sent/received CW and not computer aided visual methods.  I am now CURIOUS about your achievements on LF please enlighten me."

If I remember my English literature, I believe the expression "Look upon my works and despair" was supposed to have been found on a ruins.

For the record,"Warmsprings@aol.com" is the tireless gentleman who edits the Lowdown, monthly newsletter of the LWCA (founded 1977), as well as manages its website, www.lwca.org. Darned if I know if John ever finds the time to get on the air, nevertheless by encouraging and publicizing others who have the time and resources, he is the virtual leader of America's long wave efforts.
