Thread-topic: LF: G4CFY writes off the 137kHz band

Pete, all,

 

the lack of experience / knowledge about longwave it not only in the ham community.

I remember that when the discussion about a longwave allocation for amateur radio was going on (about 20 years ago) some parties involved had no objection as they were sure that with the given limitation of 1 W ERP hams would hardly be able "to reach the other side of town".

Hi all
I have to say I was very disappointed by that comment but assumed he had no experience below 3.6mhz like the majority of Hams. I am a annual subscriber to Practical Wireless which after all is the only counter weight to RADCOMIC the Martin Lynch and Sons catalogue or the PIC monthly as I call it. Schematics with a big blank square in the middle with no construction details of what the hell it is or forgive me Hex Code. Plus lots of generic schematics with no component details. Long boring articles by people who should know better. So you pays your money and takes your choice of Ham Radio comics.
 
Even so I think PW needs a good talking to and to get a retraction or at least print the case for MF/LF/VLF.
