Henry,
The 135.7 - 137.8 kHz range has been designated as an Amateur band in
Europe and some other countries. The FCC turned down a request for this
status in the U.S. in 2003. Canada has issued a small number of permits
to Amateur operators for this range.
Following the FCC turn-down, a (small) number of U.S. hams applied for
Experimental Licenses under Part 5 of the FCC rules. Several of these
stations are currently active. Our goal was to demonstrate the viability
of the band with small (at these wavelengths) antennas and relatively
low power, and to show that such operation could be conducted without
interference to other licensed and unlicensed users.

Hope that helps.
