Hi Dave,
YES, I think we do need  PLAN.
Can = I kick=20 off by suggesting :-
Beacon    501  to =20 501.5  narrow because beacons need to be stable and can get a lot = in with=20 care.
CW QSO mode  501.5  to  = 503.5
Digimodes  503.5=20 to 504 again narrow because of need to be stable.
Why not use this = repeater=20 it is underused for LF at present.

By the way just had first = 500kHz QSO=20 !   with G3KEV.

73 all = Laurie.
