LF,

I am at present puttng out test signals on 137.7 kHz should anyone wish to check their RX.

I shall be QRV on 137.7 kHz this evening from about 18.00Z again putting out test signals and also some CQ calls using QRSS / DFCW
I  can try CW if conditions seem favourable.

It would be a shame if after Dave's excellent LF / MF artical in RadCom would-be ops took a listen on those bands and heard no amateur activity.

A quick look in my LF receive logbook for 2001 for this weekend (actually 17/18 Feb) recorded the following stations - all on 136.5 kHz CW:

DJ9IE  (3 times)
F6CNI
G3BDQ
GW4ALG (2 times)
EI0CF (2 times)
GW4HXO
G3XDV (2 times)
G8RW
G6NB
GM3YXM/P
SM6PXJ
G6RO
ON7ZO
PA0BWL

Happy days!
