... I'm afraid its an illusion that any of our amateur signals will make it 
across on top of SVX. Just consider: If it has say 10 kW spread over 100 Hz 
bandwidth and _if_ it is attenuated by additional 10 dB traveling over the 
continent, this would still be the equivalent of 5 W in a BW of 1/2 Hz. If 
John does not hear it loud its simply due to the fact that condx to EU were 
not good enough for a contact.

So my opinion, for a penny's worth: As long as CFH is off, let's use the qrss 
segment at the upper end of the band, between 137.77 and 137.8. When CFH 
comes back, stick to the 135.9 ... 136.0 plan.

Happy New Year, take care
Markus
