This was the original proposal also in the UK, to keep the band traditional
only CW but somehow OFCOM deviated from the guidelines and permitted
bandwidth consuming data modes. Not enough consultation here in the UK I do
not recall RSGB consulting members about preferences.
I also understand from conversations discussed on HF that five other
countries are prepared to issure licences but CW telegraphy only.
Hopefully this is the case. There is ample room on other amateur bands for
data modes, this also applies to 137 khz where the bandwidth is also limited
to a few khz.

According to a message in NRRL-HQ bulletin QST-LA0309, the Norwegian PTT
supports the views of NRRL that the historic significance of 500 kHz should
be kept alive through use of its primary mode Morse telegraphy, and has
granted a preliminary permission for Norwegian radio amateurs to operate on
a secondary basis in the frequency band 490 ? 510 kHz using A1A only. The
preliminary permission runs until the results from WRC2011 is known.
Detailed regulations for operation in this narrow segment are under
preparations by NRRL and the Norwegian PTT. The results from these are
expected to be ready early spring 2009, and thus no operation will take
place until they are announced.
