Not enough consultation here in the UK I do not recall RSGB consulting members about preferences. I also understand from conversations discussed on HF that five other countries are prepared to issure licences but CW telegraphy only. Hopefully this is the case. There is ample room on other amateur bands for data modes, this also applies to 137 khz where the bandwidth is also limited to a few khz. G3KEV ----- Original Message ----- From: <di2am@web.de> To: <rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org> Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2009 9:03 AM Subject: LF: LA on 600 mtrs gm all, fwg just rd fm radio-officers@googlegroups.com begins According to a message in NRRL-HQ bulletin QST-LA0309, the Norwegian PTT supports the views of NRRL that the historic significance of 500 kHz should be kept alive through use of its primary mode Morse telegraphy, and has granted a preliminary permission for Norwegian radio amateurs to operate on a secondary basis in the frequency band 490 – 510 kHz using A1A only. The preliminary permission runs until the results from WRC2011 is known. Detailed regulations for operation in this narrow segment are under preparations by NRRL and the Norwegian PTT. The results from these are expected to be ready early spring 2009, and thus no operation will take place until they are announced. Hans Chr.
