The procedure in the past was to use CW anywhere on the 137 khz band and
then Tune the band after a CQ for a reply, this is what I do because
everybody has their antenna resonated on a different frequency and it avoids
working off resonance, which is not recommended with HI Q antenna systems
and high power.
136.5 khz was used by those with the Ropex TX xtal controlled on that
frequency, then they would tune the band for replies for those with VFO ctl,
also avoid QRM.
OK, tnx, info.
In the beginning and for some years the only mode used was CW then QRS was
introduced and later Beacons.
Since the introduction of QRS and Beacons the LF population has dropped from
over 30 active countries and over 100 radio operators to virtually Nil at
present.
Generate an optimistic view! You have a good station, so just be QRV often
and bring up some signals that can be received by new upcoming stations.
Beacon transmissions are interesting (e.g. for watching the QRN
behaviour) and give some signals for those optimising their RX and so
on. But (i agree that) a real "CQ..." is rather a motivation than just
a suffix.
Since i am QRV again with a fixed antenna (and during the /p
activities) i got several emails from people receiving me, who are not
member of the reflector (probably) and still cannot transmit. Usually
people start receiving on LF, TXing comes after that. If there is not
even a ham generated signal that can be received, why should people
start to build a TX? If there is some activity (maybe adding the
locator sometimes, to give the only-RX-stations some information about
the distance), new people may come up here.
A new active generation, this is what i want to work for!
