G,
    The article is on the relationship between dBs, power, and s-meter readings.
Nailer uses 137kHz to demonstrate that since antenna efficiencies are low, it takes a lot of power to reach 1W ERP.
But then he goes beyond that by stating that due to limited bandwidth as well as low efficiency antennas that the band is worthless.

Warren,
While many of us (particularly those of us of a certain age) have an affection stretching back to near childhood for that publication it is not for nothing that we nickname it "Practically Witless Monthly" :>)

Tony Nailer G4CFY has a bit in his "Practical Wireless" column "Technical for the terrified" this month on the 137 kHz band in which he writes it off as worthless.

"With the limitation of antenna efficiency together with a bandwidth of only 100Hz, there really isn't much that can be done with this band."

 Anyone on the list know Tony?
Who is in the best position to write a rebuttal that PW will publish?
