Indications at present suggest that LF is probably
good.
There is good propagation on 80 metres at present
to the USA during daytime. Stns hrd W2FU, W1MK and FP/K8DD but to mention a few.
These were heard around 1100 utc today Sunday working in the
CW WW contest.
Its a pity some of these operators didint work LF
because I could be in with a chance for a CW QSO.
It seems the big time 160 and 80 metre
operators in the USA, with the large antennas and cw expertise are not
interested in LF.
Over the past couple of years I have worked a
good number of operators on the HF bands and especially 160 metres
that have deserted LF never to go back so they say !!!!!!! because of the lack
of CW activity.
137 khz has now become a Beacon mode band like the
Aeronautical LF band. The chance of a transatlantic QSO these days is
NIL
