David,
The bandplan was disturbed when a military station (NPG) on the west
coast of the U.S. fired up in the 136.95 range. The signal was loud
enough in the eastern U.S. to affect the QRSS reception from EU stations
around 136.922 kHz. With CFH intermittently operating on 137.0 kHz
(clobbering +/- 400 kHz or more for many of us), and a number of eastern
U.S. experimental stations at the top end, the suggestion was made that
the EU QRSS operation move up above 136. At the time, I suggested
136.318, as it offered a decent Loran line window over much of the U.S.
and Canada.
I'm not sure of the status of the NPG operation at this point. If it has
finally gone off the air, then the original 136.922 region would again
be available.

Isn't QRSS 137+ or 135.7 ish on the bandplan?
Not that there's much CW activity these days, but I would have thought
the remote receivers are all set up for other frequencies.
