I quote" Industry Canada Supports 135.7 - 137.8 kHz Amateur Band Following two years of joint proposal development by Radio Amateurs of Canada and Industry Canada, at the November 2002 meeting of CITEL ( the inter-American Telecommunication Commission), Industry Canada will table a formal proposal that the Amateur service around the world be authorized to operate in the band 135.7-137.8 kHz, subject to certain conditions. Approval of this meeting is a first step toward seeking approval at the World Radiocommunication Conference in Geneva, Switzerland in June 2003 (WRC 2003), where the proposal will have to be added to the WRC-2003 agenda. "unquote" There is a further, more detailed note explaining the activity in Europe and around the world - with notes about the ITU Region 2 ( the Americas ) activity with past transatlantic experiments. A hopeful start for an early Christmas present - maybe. Best wishes and a happy and merry Christmas to all on the list. Good health and may you all have low noise levels ! 73 Mitch VE3OT
