Many thanks to all who responded to my request (see below).

I will use the suggestion by Geri, DK8KW, with a remark that it has not the status of an official bandplan but should be regarded as a suggestion that has been accepted by most, but not all, users of the LF band.
I will also add some remarks made by Mike, G3XDV, in a direct e-mail to me.

Our national amateur radio society VERON every two years brings out a Vademecum (handbook, manual).

I have been asked to write the chapter on LF.

In the previous edition (year 2000) the chapter on LF included a bandplan:

135,7-136,0 kHz:    local tests and temporary beacon transmissions
136,0-137,1 kHz:    normal CW
137,5-137,6 kHz:    non-CW modes (PSK31, RTTY, etc.)
137,7-137,8 kHz:    slow CW (QRSS)

Is it still considered valid or would it be better not to mention it?

Or could you recommend a different text?

Suggestions are welcome!
