Great news!  We now have the 2200M band, subject to sharing with ultility companies.

Most experimenters use short, inefficient antennas with very large loading coils. Propagation in this RF region is by surface wave, using vertically polarized antennas.

In ITU region 1 and 3, broadcasters use the 150 to 280 kHz region to cover entire countries. European broadcasters in this spectrum can be heard on the East Coast of the US occasionally just after sunset. An outside antenna away from noise sources is recommended for reception of long wave broadcasters.

Another LF band does exists in the US. A lot of "lowfer" (Low Frequency Experimental Radio) activity occurs in the 160 to 190-kHz region--the so-called 1750-meter band, authorized under Part 15 of the FCC regulations. You don't need a license to operate on 1750 meters, but there are severe legal restrictions on what you can put on the air there. For starters, you can't run more than 1 W input to the transmitter's final stage, and the entire length of the transmission line and antenna combined cannot exceed 15 meters (approximately 50 feet). That's not much antenna for a band where a half-wavelength antenna would be more than one-half mile long! Hams that operate on 1750 meters  use just their call sign suffix as an ID as the FCC frowns on using call signs there.

Right now, a few hundred experimenters occupy the band in the US, and several of them have set up CW beacons on 1750 meters (many between 180 and 190 kHz), so you might take a listen if you have a receiver that tunes those nether regions. A lot of equipment for the band is homebrew, but commercial equipment is becoming more available.

Several HF/VHF transceivers have general coverage receivers which tune down to 100 kHz or lower, Recent QST Product Reviews now include sensitivity performance at 137 kHz.
