tnx for the info.
The excitement of 136 Khz has long gone when there
was no Internet involvement. I used to call CQ on CW or QRSS and QSX 7033
Kcs. The excitement started when I got replies from the USA and Canada to
the West and the Russians the East.
and conducted a proper two way QSO, plus lots of
CW QSO'S around EU
There is no pleasure churning out a BEACON
24/7 unattended and hoping that someone reports reception via the
Internet.
I only Transmit if there is a chance of getting
a two way QSO. It worked well back then so that is what I expect
now.
The same applies to MF. That band has also turned into a
BEACON 24/7 operation most of the time.

Look forward to seeing your signal in KL7 someday Mal - hasnt happened
yet sadly.
To date Ive never seen LF/MF signals from Eu that wouldnt require a
little more than ear/brain decode processing

LF es MF
Is there anyone able to QSO these days on either CW or
QRSS on the 136 or 472 Khz bands, or where appropriate xband.
I am not interested in BEACON 24/7 hoping for a HIT
somewhere in the world.even though at this time of year propagation is
optimum.
I would prefer to go back to the past where QSO mode
was the normal procedure and not QSL via internet.
At present I would expect to be able to QSO with KL7
es YV if they were suitably equipped to Transmit on QRSS 30 -
60
I do not think anyone from the UK or EU
has made a QSO on LF/MF in recent years across
to North America or Russia on either CW or QRSS
