Just to remind all that RSGB guidance on the use of 136HKz, at http://www.rsgb.org.uk/bandplans/136khz.htm, lines up with Mal's comment below.  The detail of this updated guidance has been sent to the IARU Region 1 Conference that meets shortly.

Subject: LF: USA/136

Good news for the LF community that the USA will soon be operationg on 136 khz. There should be some excitement later on in the year when propagation is suitable for two way qso's on the band between EU and the USA.
Some sort of bandplan needs to be implemented to avoid EU stations blocking the DX.
For QRS activity ie 1 sec to 60 sec dots if the EU stations stick to the estabished practice of using 135.920 khz plus of minus a few hertz, maybe the USA could use 137.600 area. I am sure others will have some suggestions, but a mixture of PSK, JASON and QRS all on the same frequency would not be helpful.
Before long two way on LF across the pond will be the norm !!
