Hello Lubos,
 
to my knowledge in following countries have 500= kHz licences:
- Belgium: 1 station regu= lary active (me), 2 other stations seldom active
- Canada: 2 stations active
- Croatia: but no activit= y so far
- Czech Republic: 1 station active (you)=
- Denmark: 1 station active, not sure if it includes OY and OX
- Germany: beacon mode only
- Ireland: 2 stations active
- Iceland: but no activit= y so far
- Netherlands: plenty of= activity
- New Zealand: some activity, but probably out= of reach for Europe
- Norway: 1 station active
- Sweden: 2 stations active
- UK: plenty of activity (so far DXCC G,= GI, GM and GW activated)
- USA: plenty of activity, some beacon, some 'Q= SO mode' (so far DXCC W en KL7 activated)
 
So if you go for the DXCC:
- already active in Europe: G, GI, GM, GW, EI,= LA, OK, ON, OZ, PA, SM (11)
- already active outside Europe: VE, W, KL7, ZL= (4)
- could be activated in Europe : GD, GJ, GU, TF= , 9A, maybe OY and OX (ok that's NA)
 
Maybe it is about time to set up a "first= list" for 500kHz ?
