Re: LF: RE: 500 v 136

["Laurence KL1X" <hellozerohellozero@hotmail.com>]

Im in perhaps a strange position as I would never hear or see any signals on 
the band if it wasnt for some form of technical assistance non ear based, so 
it has its place I believe as long as its tenable and as Dave YMC says 
doesnt drive people away  by causing unsolicited qrm. Im not sure why it 
should  - but there again I dont live in any location which can give me 
enough s/n to copy by ear, well at the moment any way. I strive for the same 
s/n improvements at the less than dB level, just some 30dB less than audible 
thats all.
Roll on perhaps a couple of years and Ill land in a location where Im 
allowed to actually put a signal out on 137 or 500KHz - oh bliss....
