Hi all,
I'm posting this query here rather than to the Lowfer list as 3
attempts to do the latter were unsuccessful - the messages seem
never to have made it.
I have noticed frequent mention on the Glowbugs list to which I
subscribe,
of what sounds like, judging from the context, a number of folks
awaiting
FCC approval for operation under an experimental license on 600
meters (~500 kHz). Guys
talking about modifying their boatanchor tube rigs like DX-40's,
etc. to get down there, apparently
expectant of approval. But no specifics...anyone know anything
about this?
Doesn't seem to be AMRAD-related, BTW.

Their application is now posted on the FCC site with the file
number 0213-EX-PL-2001, received Sept. 21. The 600 Meter
Research Group, through W7EKB, is asking for 400w TPO, 200w ERP at
36 locations all over the US, including the RW beacon.
They report that 440-500 khz was abandoned by all users in the
Western Hemisphere more than 5 years ago (PPA and CLA take
note).
