Im asked whether 500kcs or kHz etc is still in use here and yes it is - heres a TTT TTT Nav warning on 500.00 Khz at Hr +18 from XSV Tianjin radio about 15 miles from me just a few mins ago.
I dont hear Ship to Ship or Ship to Shore on MF, or should I say I havent yet and none of my ships or platforms are equipped here, but the Chinese announced back in 2007 that 486 Khz (assigned) is to be used for a "National language channel" - Im not sure if this relates to safety traffic/navtex or gen bsct - or whatever, but Tianjin is just increasing its output power on that freq to 5Kw, and dont I know it.
