Hello Bob and all,
It's much easier to put a good sigs out on 472 than 137 or
73. Countless new modes to use and band conditions much more
predictable on 600 meters.
I agree as far as PEP-versus-ERP is concerned.
But from my experience when I was (very!) active on 136.x kHz in CW
was that LF was actually more predictable than MF, especially at
night when MF (over significant distances) differs from day to day,
hour to hour, minute to minute by many dBs.
Even if you are not limited to 1 Watt ERP (which we are in this
country), it will be difficult to compensate the QSB's dynamic range
(for audible CW QSOs) with a brute-force amplifier.
Cheers,
Wolf DL4YHF .
