John - many thanks indeed. I am sure this information will be helpful. Do you know of any other countries that are considering a 600m slot for amateurs?

I posted a note to this reflector that was written for the RSGB's Spectrum Forum the other day - maybe you and others haven't seen it. The position in the UK is that the RSGB submitted a proposal for access to frequencies around 500kHz, see http://www.rsgb-spectrumforum.org.uk/mf.htm. This is fairly self-explainatory. The proposal is still being considered by our regulator, Ofcom.

Elsewhere, Walter, DJ2LF has a special permit for the current year for a beacon, DI2AG, that transmits on 440.044kHz.

Could someone bring me up to speed on this in the UK or elsewhere in Europe? Our Industry Canada liason person is looking for information to bolster a possible proposal for a 600m amateur allocation. Any background history would be helpful.

Thanks!
