Hi Jim,
This 'gap' may not last long; there is a Dutch LW station slated
for 171kHz, if they ever get a station together. They were I believe
chased off land by conservationists and last I heard going to put
an array up in the North Sea(!) off Walcheren, but were still being
hounded by "Friends Of The Seagulls" or such.
Bad enough with what's already there, and with DRM on the
horizon and LongWave allocations looking mighty attractive to
broadcasters again, it doesn't look good for usage of the 'Part 15'
frequencies.
Cheers,
Steve W3EEE

Dear LF group,
Mike's request for info reminds me - A while ago, I tried listening
around 184.4 kHz, where the recent "transpac" tests occured, but
this frequency is full of very strong LF broadcast station
sidebands, as is most of 165kHz - 190kHz. But there was a gap in
the general din around 169 - 173kHz that might be worth trying for
VK/ZL to Europe LF tests one day - do others have a quiet spot
here too? Would it be any good for the VK/ZL stations?
