I have just received this on the 5MHz reflector. Perhaps some of our
VE friends can comment.

Subject: [ukfivemegs] RAC - Canadian 135 kHz and 5 MHz
Special Authorizations Terminated
RAC - Canadian 135 kHz and 5 MHz Special Authorizations Terminated
Special Authorizations for Canadian Amateur Radio Experiments at 135
kHz and 5 MHz to Cease 30 June 2007.
Since 2001, at the request of RAC, Industry Canada has granted a
number of special authorizations to some Canadian radio amateurs to
conduct experiments in the band 135.7 - 137.8 kHz and at 5 MHz. These
experiments have had, as one objective, the provision of data that
would support the objectives of RAC and the IARU for possible new
allocations to the Amateur Service at these frequencies. In
accordance with the agreement between RAC and Industry Canada, all
the special authorizations to Canadian radio amateurs will be
terminated and transmissions must cease as of 30 June, 2007. Further
special authorizations will depend on the outcomes of WRC-2007,
scheduled for 22 October - 16 November, at which, on the initiative
of Canada, a new, worldwide, secondary allocation to the Amateur
Service at 135.7 -
137.8 kHz is on the agenda. A secondary allocation near 5 MHz may
also arise at WRC-2007 as a consideration in the review of radio
services in the band 4 - 10 MHz. Per the agreement for special
authorizations, each experimenter is required to prepare a summary
report of his experiments, which may be in the form of an article for
TCA.
