The bottom end would keep Beacon acty out of the way. There would still be room for the odd EU qrs operator, can't say I have heard many in recent years. The freq area 137 - 138 k/cs is frequently occupied by Russian and other EU dxers for inter Country working using CW and QRS and 136.5 - 137 for local CW working. NA stns wishing to work EU would still use 137 - 138 on CW and QRS and not be clobbered by wspr carriers going ON/OFF. I hope you see the logic G3KEV ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 7:16 PM Subject: Re: LF: Re: WD2XES WSPR 136.0 > Thanks for the suggestion, but I doubt it will cause you any more interference than it has for the last 5 years.
