LF,
Yes,
the LF band appears dead as far as real QSO's are concerned.
Following
Dave G3YXM's RadCom article on LF / MF I beaconed and called CQ on 137.7 kHz
extensively for consecutive weekends.
My
signals are not huge but have a range of several hundred km judging from the
various grabbers' displays.
Apart
from one CW QSO with Dave on 136.5 kHz I had no other report or
reply!
LF
operators are spread far too thinly and unless one makes a sked or advertises
well in advance then the chances of a QSO are very slim.
In
the good old days the time for calling / QSO's used to be 'on the
hour'.
It's
now probably time to have specific 'day and hour' periods each month for
LF activity.
If
we knew that say the second Sunday in each month at 10.00Z would be activity
time then maybe a few more ops would dust the cobwebs from their rusty LF
rigs.

LF!
There's not much activity these days on
137 kHz. I thought i spend the
night in good old QRSS-60 on 136.172
kHz.
Reports welcome :-)
