Rich,

There is something  intrinsically quaint about  erecting a lightning 
conductor  on top of  a mountain , flying a kite  well that's one  group 
sang ,that's  'one  step beyond' 
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-uyWAe0NhQ)  hihi

Interesting  question, the  answer to which  by default now appears to be 
'yes' After having a Concorde  moment in the run up to the IMD event where 
the arrl told  there chaps , they could  not communicate with a uk satiation 
transmitting on 500 , as it wasn't licensed, it  turned out that in fact usa 
stations transmitting on 500 could not  communicate the other way  round as 
they where not  licensed.. vo1mrc   called us on  3566 in reply to  502 cw 
cq call

The rational being that uk 500 stations already hold full uk licences and as 
such are operating with an extension to  there existing  license as in the 
original vlf  permit, the 6 mtr variation , 5 meg experiment , asking the 
same  question 2 years ago may of evoked a differing  response,  ,  however 
things have move on.

Cw  has been the main  cross band:-

3566   reply
7033  is also used , (kev -Moscow )

Data   im not  sure I have had one cross band  qso with  wspr/qso mode to 
160 mtrs
And some  cross band qso's with Gary , but  ive not  seen any other activity 
as such.
