Hi Mal
All the initial LF challenges have been
done. Where’s the thrill in T/A on 137 and 500? This has been done by
yourself and other early pioneers and well documented and congrats to those
that did. So now people are trying new challenges and techniques. I’m
sure if M0BMU, G3XIZ and others decided to fire up their systems they could
rattle the windows in New England once more
but people move onto new challenges, frequencies, modes etc.
As it is, both 137 and 500 are alive and
kicking down here in Beds with regular CW net skeds across Biggleswade and
still quite a bit of activity on WSPR
For me DX is about Difficulty indeX as well as long distance and the
challenge to be heard with a low profile earth loop antenna on 9khz is as much
a test as T/A on 137 was, with neither devaluing the achievements of the other
(in my very humble opinion)
I’m sure there will be many opinions
on this but then that’s amateur radio for you!
With best regards
Jim

Certainly a bad day for LF. It speaks for itself, noone now
able to radiate signals like used to be the case a few years ago.
The average distance these days measured in metres, whereas
yesteryears thousands of Kilometres
