I do not think it matters who was first, its hardly
new technology on LF. Radio amateurs are only retracing the steps of those
commercial operators that have gone before.
A good solid creditable qso is more
important, whatever the packing order. Some so called firsts in the past were a
bit hit and miss on LF, like calling back tomorrow or next week to complete the
report, plus the fact the QSO's were prearranged, so it was known who was on
exactly what frequency regardless of hearing or seeing the
callsign.
QSO rules on LF for some are invented as the qso
takes place, and nothing like the established procedures on all the other
amateur bands.
Operating from sites using commercial radio masts
is hardly amateur radio, and certainly no achievement, or awards should be
claimed by those participating. This type of operation only proves what we all
already know that the bigger and higher the antenna mast on LF the greater the
radio signal emitted.
No doubt the claim game will go on !!!!!
