"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."
If I remember my English literature, I believe the expression "Look upon my works
and despair" was supposed to have been found on a ruins.
For the record,"[email protected]" is the tireless gentleman who edits the
Lowdown, monthly newsletter of the LWCA (founded 1977), as well as manages its website,
www.lwca.org. Darned if I know if John ever finds the time to get on the air,
nevertheless by encouraging and publicizing others who have the time and resources, he is
the virtual leader of America's long wave efforts.

Pity such a distinguished gentleman did not get his FACTS RIGHT before putting
fingers to keys implying that I was only hearing 7 other LF operators because
of lack of knowledge or facilities.
It pays to do some research before making a judgement about others.
Now you have the facts straight from the source, publish the details in the
said magazine.
