[Lowfer] Lowfer TAG?

I used to run Lowfer TAG from Raymond, ME over the winter, from the end
of October through some point in May. A couple of years ago, I had to
take the antenna down due to tree removal next to our cottage. I'm
presently at the point where I could put up something like the original
loop, but probably with #12ga wire instead of the old RG-8 (I do mean
OLD, as that cable is 73 years OLD).
TAG had been running on 185.297 kHz, with QRSS60. Looking at the beacon
list, I see no problem, but want to be sure that there has been no
observed activity there. The frequency is stable -- probably within
0.01Hz over the winter. TAG would be on the same screen used for viewing
WM, SIW and SJ.
Another choice would be to resurrect WOLF, and put the beacon on 185.500
or 185.800 kHz. But I suspect there are few left who have any interest
in that mode.
Any comments before I proceed?
John, W1TAG
