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."

Pity such a distinguished gentleman did not get his FACTS RIGHT before putting fingers to keys implying that I was only hearing 7 other LF operators because of lack of knowledge or facilities.
It pays to do some research before making a judgement about others.
Now you have the facts straight from the source, publish the details in the said magazine.
