Hi All,

In agreement with John & Graham, I believe that makes sense. The top part of
the band is probably the least used area so we just need to agree on a 200Hz
slot of either 503.800 to 504.000KHz with no guard band or 503.700 to
503.900KHz with a 100Hz guard band.

My WSPR beacon is now active using dial frequency 502.000KHz & 503.550KHz
data.

Looks like Andy just beat me to the announcement.

John,

Looks close to  my post , just, as wspr is such a narrow mode, could move to

the band edge without problems
clear of the occasional  qrss slightly lower down

With a move to vfo/exciter control,  defining the wspr slot is a reasonable 
concept as it will allow other 'casual'
monitor stations to  be established .. and negate the number of post needed 
to  announce a test !

What of the beacons that used this area of the band , are they qrt or just 
sleeping ?

G ..
