Probably not many. But in order to gain hands-on experience in aspects of
the radio art? Perhaps quite a few! That is one of the well-established
purposes of the Amateur Radio Service.

Could having only "all you need" possibly be the reason for not hearing more
than 7 hams? Just curious... :-)
THE FACTS are that I have worked 21 countries on 136 khz two way qso,s. and
several EU dx xband with my signal on 136 khz. My reports are generally at least
2 S POINTS up on any other station from England, and include many Firsts
between the rest of EU and England.
To date I have made a few hundred contacts two way on 136 khz.
Currently the activity on LF is very low around EU and I doubt if any more than
7 stations are active at present.
These results have been achieved using normal hand sent/received CW and not
computer aided visual methods.
I am now CURIOUS about your achievements on LF please enlighten me.
