It does not take days for a LF QSO, it can be done in the same way that we have been doing on MF/630 a few weeks ago using JT9, QRSS 10 or 20 or DFCW
If both ends can run around 1W erp. It is better with a large antenna to achieve this ERP because of signal capture area.
In the past both myself G3KEV and MM0ALM were often heard East Coast USA by NC1K, VE1ZZ, VE1GJ so a data QSO would be a doddle
I have dismantled my LF antenna system otherwise I would engage in a LF QSO with you.
LF propagation is more consistant than MF
also EI0CF had some good TR results in those early days, he likewise is now QRT on LF

Paul,
first TA full 2way QSOs on 136 in 2001:
from Feb 5 to Feb 19   VA3LK and G3AQC
Feb 13   VE1ZJ(RX) + VE1ZZ(TX) and G3LDO

2001-Mar-15 DARC, RSBG and AMRAD - the sponsors of the Trans-Atlantic Challenge have decided to present awards to Larry VA3LK, Laurie G3AQC, Jack VE1ZZ, John VE1ZJ and Peter G3LDO for their contacts

LF / 2200 meter community,

I am a little afraid to ask this question. I don't want to start a
"war" here. But...

What is the feeling in the LF community about a QSO (DFCW or QRSS)
which takes more than a single night to complete? Is this OK or will
it be seen as cheating?

I am a very conservative operator but I cannot think of any reason
why a QSO spanning a few nights would not be perfectly OK. To me it
seems that's just taking advantage of available propagation and
(very slow) modes which can get information across.

I do think that if the operators stop for some nights, the QSO
should reset to the beginning because that is a new attempt.

I'm trying to find out what the community feels about this. I want
to be a respectable member of this community, not an invading
outlaw. ;-) If a QSO taking a few nights is considered evil, I won't
do it. Now is your chance to educate me.

73,
Paul N1BUG
