I've come across a report of a special international meeting
of professional CW operators at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7ppu4Qsw54
The reporter speaks German but the discussion among the attendees is
is in international language. :-)

>Hi MF,

>Just regarding CW activity on MF, below you can find another
>good example that (CW) activity rises activity. So if there is
>no one on the band, just call CQ, preverably with Q R O so
>that many stations can hear you, even those with local QRM and
>compromise antennas. First they must hear you, then they may
>start to improve their RX system and just then they will hear
>the QRP stations! Even if no one answers, the calls are not "a
>waste of energy and time". At least for me it's nice to know
>there are a few people outside catchinhg the signal, maybe
>even unintended :-) In that case, the OM didn't even know that
>the 630m band is existing for radio amateurs!

> Hello Stefan,
>
> Just a short email to tell you that I picked up
>your signals on the 600m band yesterday evening. I heard you
>calling CQ a few times with your locator JN49, then you
>started working another DK station called Rudi. I didn't get
>the callsign of the other station because of local QRM, but
>your signals were clear here at times, best report 519 for you.

> I was tuning on my RX looking for the
>non-directional aircraft beacons between 280KHz and 530KHz
>when I came across your CQ calling on 473KHz. At first I
>thought there must be a fault with my RX because I didn't know
>about the new 600m band, but now that I do, I'll listen there
>some more! Very interesting!
>
>
> My SWL station is a Trio R-600 with end-fed
>wire antenna (see GW0LBI on QRZ.com), and my location is
>Bargoed Wales, IO81jq if that is any use to you.

> Anyway hope this helps Stefan, I'll listen for
>you again, and good luck.
