Hello Andy.
Not about the first claimed 73kHz QSO, but just for info
:
the first time I heard Peter G3LDO on 73.4 kHz normal CW (
338 km ) was around november / december 1996. Later, I had my first xband QSO
73.3 / 3.570 kHz with him 28 march 1998. I received his nice QSL for this event.
It was, I think, the only all time QSO normal CW xband from UK to outside UK.
But Peter and probably others UK stations had also some “DX” QRSS QSO xband 73 /
137 : one day ( I do not remember the date ) I see Peter in QSO QRSS3 with
HB9ASB...

73kHz first.
Can anyone remember what the first claimed 73kHz QSO was
. I seem to remember it was a few tens of metres across a car park,
probably in 1996
(Strictly, that was a capacitor not radiation, but...)
I'm giving a talk on LF/MF in a couple of weeks, and want to get the
timeline right.
