PA0KDM was a good sig on cw but he called CQ for so long I could not wait any longer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to give him a call. I would suggest that 500 khz if it becomes available be CW only which would be traditionnal like it used to be. There are plenty of other amateur bands availabe for other modes. Suprisingly a lot of contributers on here expressing opinions about LF etc have never been heard active on the band, therefore no real experience about the subject. 73 de Mal/G3KEV
