Dear Roger, LF Group,

Please bear in mind that G3KEV does not speak for "us guys", only himself. 
Over the years we have learned to ignore him most of the time - if we took 
much notice, we would all have given up a long time ago.

If you look in the WSPR on-line database specifying the band as "LF/VLF", 
you will see that there has been quite a lot of WSPR activity over the last 
year on 136k and 500k, which has been one of the more successful digital 
modes in this part of the spectrum. The points you make regarding narrow 
bandwidth and low power are certainly useful at LF/MF. The summer months are 
usually rather lacking in activity due to the short nights and high QRN, but 
activity, no doubt including WSPR, will be picking up soon as we get into 
autumn.

The M0BMU LF/MF station is currently QRT due to a recent visit from 
relatives - all those pretty coloured wires and 3-year-olds don't really 
mix! It will probably be put back together this weekend though, so if you 
are interested in trying WSPR on 136k or 500k, let me know.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
73 de M0BMU
