Best 73 Geri, DK8KW (W1KW) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Posted by Jonathan W2MXW on August 18, 2001 at 16:26:22: Hi all, I'm posting this query here rather than to the Lowfer list as 3 attempts to do the latter were unsuccessful - the messages seem never to have made it. I have noticed frequent mention on the Glowbugs list to which I subscribe, of what sounds like, judging from the context, a number of folks awaiting FCC approval for operation under an experimental license on 600 meters (~500 kHz). Guys talking about modifying their boatanchor tube rigs like DX-40's, etc. to get down there, apparently expectant of approval. But no specifics...anyone know anything about this? Doesn't seem to be AMRAD-related, BTW. 73 de W2MXW Posted by Mike W2AG on October 01, 2001 at 07:14:21: In Reply to: Re: 600 meter experimental license? posted by Jonathan Smick W2MXW on August 25, 2001 at 15:05:38: Their application is now posted on the FCC site with the file number 0213-EX-PL-2001, received Sept. 21. The 600 Meter Research Group, through W7EKB, is asking for 400w TPO, 200w ERP at 36 locations all over the US, including the RW beacon. They report that 440-500 khz was abandoned by all users in the Western Hemisphere more than 5 years ago (PPA and CLA take note).
