Loran is audible here but not a real problem. The biggest problem is the
regular bursts of data at both ends of the 136 khz allocation.. With large
antennas the received bursts are extremely strong especially when listening
at the band edges where most of the QRS acty is located. ie 137.778 and
136.315.
142 - 145.5 khz is clear in Scarborough and possibly other slots, in the
meantime its battle on hi

If I recall correctly, in the early days of negotiation with the
Radiocommunications Agency in the UK, it was originally suggested that the
RSGB should apply for an allocation round about 173 kHz with 5W ERP (to line
up with the ZL allocation?). Time went by and we were asked for our views
on an allocation around 88 kHz. That idea was then withdrawn as that
frequency was already in use by another service (it was and still is used
with induction systems for cave communications on 87 kHz USB).
Eventually we got 73 kHz.
Mal says "several khz up or down the band from 137 it is clear". Not here
it isn't. And if he, in Yorkshire, is unaffected by Loran he is very lucky.

Dear Mal, LF Group,
I don't know... but it was probably the same as the reason for which the
73kHz band was withdrawn at about the same time that all the utilities
which
had been operating inside or near that part of the spectrum were
decomissioned ;-)

Does anyone know why 137 khz was chosen as an amateur allocation, in that
freq area it is the most polluted part, clobbered at both ends by
commercial
high power transmitters...
