Dear Walter,

That is exactly what I did,  with accent on the research of skywave 
propagation and on the reliability of daytime communication using small power.

It is queer that the reasons for refusal:
* The band is national and international not an amateur band
* The band is still used for emergency, urgent and safety messages
are just as valid for Germany, UK, Sweden and USA  and in these 
countries this is not a reason for refusing permission to use the 
band for research and experiments.
I had also stated I wanted the permission for a limited period, 
preferably one year. So the agency could always revoke the permission 
after that period.
But being a small country our administration is always very 
cautious  and not inclined to be at the forefront on subjects that 
have not been agreed upon between a large number of countries in CEPT 
or similar organisations.

But who knows what the future may bring.  Our 136 kHz permission also 
came rather late.
