John,
Looks close to my post , just, as wspr is such a narrow mode, could move to
the band edge without problems
clear of the occasional qrss slightly lower down
With a move to vfo/exciter control, defining the wspr slot is a reasonable
concept as it will allow other 'casual'
monitor stations to be established .. and negate the number of post needed
to announce a test !
What of the beacons that used this area of the band , are they qrt or just
sleeping ?

Oh no!
Please let's not get into this again....
At the moment there is no bandplan, but general concensus would
indicate "beacons at the band edges - real QSOs in the middle".
The current WSPR activity around 503.5 (502.0 dial) seems reasonable,
although moving up a few hundred Hz wouldn't hurt, say to 502.3 dial
which gives a 200Hz window at 503.7 - 503.9
There are often CW mode beacons near the bottom of the band - GI4DPE,
GW3UEP and others, and it's convenient to have them there - it allows
monitoring them and SK6RUD concurrently.
That's just my view on how things have evolved.
"Real Man's CW" seems to live around 502.63
