And yet, the first transatlantic cross band and 136kHz - 136k QSOs both involved stations south of Watford.

Early UK experimenters in the South only managed a few hundred metres on 136 and could not be heard North of Watford and most are still struggling in that area. This info appeared in the LF comic at the time. 
Some how the big signals eminated from the Midlands and North as far as Scotland and still do.

This is a meaningless argument about 25 watts and range on LF. One needs to know about the actual antenna in use and the resulting ERP.

There were also some big signals from EU at the time, unfortunately now all gone QRT, all active on CW.

Hi Warren, 
 
depends on what you call a neighbour. 
In the early days of 136kHz I worked stations up to 400km under 
similar conditions.
