Rich,

There is something intrinsically quaint about erecting a lightning conductor on top of a mountain , flying a kite well that's one group sang ,that's 'one step beyond' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-uyWAe0NhQ) hihi

Interesting question, the answer to which by default now appears to be 'yes' After having a Concorde moment in the run up to the IMD event where the arrl told there chaps , they could not communicate with a uk satiation transmitting on 500 , as it wasn't licensed, it turned out that in fact usa stations transmitting on 500 could not communicate the other way round as they where not licensed.. vo1mrc called us on 3566 in reply to 502 cw cq call

The rational being that uk 500 stations already hold full uk licences and as such are operating with an extension to there existing license as in the original vlf permit, the 6 mtr variation , 5 meg experiment , asking the same question 2 years ago may of evoked a differing response, , however things have move on.

Cw  has been the main  cross band:-

3566   reply
7033  is also used , (kev -Moscow )

Data im not sure I have had one cross band qso with wspr/qso mode to 160 mtrs And some cross band qso's with Gary , but ive not seen any other activity as such.

Dear MFers

A few of the SOTA crowd have started taking an interest in 500kHz since
I mentioned it on their reflector. Some have been listening and hearing
people.  Are there any restrictions on making cross-band contacts (say
80m-500kHz)? That seems like a good way to get a few people interested.
