      Canadian Amateurs on 600 Metres Industry Canada has accepted an RAC
proposal whereby selected Canadian radio amateurs would be permitted to
operate in the vicinity of 500 kHz. These amateur operations would support
Canada's efforts to action a proposal on the agenda of the 2011 World Radio
Conference (WRC2011) which, if adopted, would create an amateur allocation
in the 600-meter band. Industry Canada have authorized RAC to recommend
amateurs who would be licensed to operate in the 504 to 509 kHz band with a
maximum power of 20 watts ERP and bandwidth up to 1 kHz. Stations operating
in this band would be technically operating under Special Developmental
Licenses although they would all be radio amateurs. Distinct call signs
would be used and the licenses would be renewable annually subject to the
amateur demonstrating the research he has carried out. More information will
follow shortly in the pages of TCA or via subsequent bulletins. Bryan

        From the  IARU  web site
        As of 30 October 2009 Canada issued two licences in the
Developmental Service in the range 504-509 kHz.
          a.. VE1ZZ has been assigned VX9PSO and is reported on 504.6 kHz
          b.. VO1NA has been assigned VX9MRC and is reported on 507.77 and
508.5 kHz
        Two more stations, VE3OHH and VE7BDQ, are expected to become active
soon.
