I am thus fairly convinced that there is interest in such an allocation. As a member of the RSGB HF Committee I have recently been asked to see if I could put a case together for requesting such an allocation. This e-mail is to ask for confirmation that amateurs would be interested in experimenting on both technical and operating matter at 500kHz. I would be grateful therefore for UK amateurs and SWLs to send me a brief e-mail stating your interest, together with agreement that I can pass your callsign/SWL number forward as part of a possible submission. Please send the response directly to me at g3wkl@btinternet.com and not the reflector. Please do not set your expectations too high - this is very speculative! 73 and regards John Gould G3WKL
