... well, Andy, you are definetely right, AMTOR is by far not an optimum
mode for LF, but here in Northern Germany, the LF population density is
very low, my next active LF neighbor is over 100 km away, so it does not
cause the same trouble you might have in areas such as the U.K. but helps
to fill the band at least with some signals  .... ;-)
