This is a meaningless argument about 25 watts and range on LF. One needs to 
know about the actual antenna in use and the resulting ERP.
Early UK experimenters in the South only managed a few hundred metres on 136 
and could not be heard North of Watford and most are still struggling in 
that area. This info appeared in the LF comic at the time.
Some how the big signals eminated from the Midlands and North as far as 
Scotland and still do.
There were also some big signals from EU at the time, unfortunately now all 
gone QRT, all active on CW.

Hi Warren,

depends on what you call a neighbour.
In the early days of 136kHz I worked stations up to 400km under
similar conditions.
