Dear Roger,
Thank you for your= email and apologies for the delay in responding.
There is no lower limit for the= definition of ‘wireless telegraphy’ in the Wireless Telegraphy= Act 2006, only an upper limit* and we unaware of any order changing that. Transmissions below 8.3 kHz would=20 still be covered by the WT Act and would need the relevant=20 authorisation, even if there is no Allocation available in the UK FAT. = ;=20 As you are most likely wanting to do this under the authorisation of your amateur radio licence, you would need to apply for a variation.
Unfortun= ately, the UK amateur radio licence does not authorise use of 73 kHz and we do not note it in any relevant exemption regulations, such as The Wireless Telegraphy (Testing and Development Under Suppressed Radiation Conditions) (Exemption)=20 Regulations 1989. So any intended operation(s) would also have to be the subject of a variation.
If you wish to approach Ofcom for a NoV we would need you to provide as=20 much information as possible. Information required would be things like=20 radiated power, frequency, bandwidth, antenna type, height, NGR, whether directional (and, if so,=20 direction), elevation, class of emission and purpose of use. We may be=20 able offer a variation, but initially this would likely be for a=20 temporary period e.g. six months. However, there is no guarantee that we can authorise this use.  We also note that th= e=20 73 kHz band is UK2 and that means prior approval from the MoD would need to be sought. 
*&ldquo= ;116     “Wireless telegraphy”.
(1)  &nb= sp;     In this Act “wireless telegraphy” means the emitting or receiv= ing, over paths that are not provided by any material substance constructed or=20 arranged for the purpose, of energy to which subsection (2) applies. .
