Now looking forward for some unrealistic operation on LF, enjoying stoneage communication modes (oh well, and others too)... Anyway congrats for the new band, maybe one fine day it will become an amateur radio band too - though this is quite unrealistic in this country. BTW in DL it took over a decade until 6 meters became an (almost) "normal" amateur radio band just a few weeks ago (!) - it doesn't require a special license now, but we must still inform the authorities before we start using it.
