        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.

        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
