I understand this proposal for a slot around the LF side of 500 khz has been under consideration for some time in the UK and possibly other EU countries. In a conversation overheard on 80 metres discussing the 500 khz proposal, seemingly it is being considered by the UK licence authority
favourably.
The licence Authority in the UK was approached some time back by a number of ex Marine Radio Officers about the possibility and were directed towards the radio amateur route to persue their case.
This is the story overheard on 80 metres, the band for information and education !!!!!!!!!
