Dear Mal, LF Group,

I don't know... but it was probably the same as the reason for which the 
73kHz band was withdrawn at about the same time that all the utilities which 
had been operating inside or near that part of the spectrum were 
decomissioned ;-)

Cheers, Jim Moritz

Does anyone know why 137 khz was chosen as an amateur allocation, in that 
freq area it is the most polluted part, clobbered at both ends by commercial 
high power transmitters...
