Hi Jim,

This 'gap' may not last long;  there is a Dutch LW station slated
for 171kHz, if they ever get a station together.  They were I believe
chased off land by conservationists and  last I heard going to put
an array up in the North Sea(!) off Walcheren, but were still being 
hounded by "Friends Of The Seagulls" or such.

Bad enough with what's already there, and with DRM on the 
horizon and LongWave allocations looking mighty attractive to 
broadcasters again, it doesn't look good for usage of the 'Part 15' 
frequencies.

        Cheers,

                Steve        W3EEE
