I think it is possible as I said in my message, surprised you missed it!!!!!!!!!! For those with better than average antennas on LF and able to generate around 1w erp there is a good chance. Some 73 khz operators that I have heard are stronger with less power than they are on 136 khz but I have a fairly large antenna although on LF it is small in comparison to the frequency. (120 ft high) but better than the average 40 - 60 ft used by others. I have a tx built for 73 khz running about 1 kw to the antenna and will be on air as soon as I get the chance, very busy here at present and no time !!!!!!!!!
