Season's Greetings to all:
I have just received Radio Amateurs of Canada Jan/Feb 2003
magazine and found a very interesting note about 135.7-137.8 kHz
"Amateur Band".

I quote"

Industry Canada Supports 135.7 - 137.8 kHz Amateur Band

Following two years of joint proposal development by Radio
Amateurs of Canada and Industry Canada, at the November 2002
meeting of CITEL ( the inter-American Telecommunication
Commission), Industry Canada will table a formal proposal that
the Amateur service around the world be authorized to operate in the
band 135.7-137.8 kHz, subject to certain conditions.
Approval of this meeting is a first step toward seeking approval
at the World Radiocommunication Conference in Geneva, Switzerland
in June 2003 (WRC 2003), where the proposal will have to be added
to the WRC-2003 agenda.

There is a further, more detailed note explaining the activity
in Europe and around the world - with notes about the ITU Region 2
( the Americas ) activity with past transatlantic experiments.

A hopeful start for an early Christmas present - maybe.

Best wishes and a happy and merry Christmas to all on the list.
Good health and may you all have low noise levels !
