First, congrats to your first LF CW reception.
There's not much going on and i can't call CQ all the time. So i have to 
decide to run a beacon or let the PA get dusty. You and many others 
heared that beacon today, so it was no waste of energy at all, isn't it? :-)
It's up to the active stations to make and keep the band alive. Become 
one of them and never become tired to stay active. If YOU are active, 
them others have a reason to become active too/again. Learn to ignore 
the pessimistic and demotivating shouts of some poor men. Concentrate on 
the fascination to radiate a signal from a piece of wire on a wavelength 
of 2200m and how it propagates.
