This is not what Ofcom calls it. In their recent consultation they say:

"Agenda Item 1.23 - Amateur Service in parts of the band 415 – 526.5 kHz

"5.19 Radio amateurs use radio for experimental purposes and to provide communications in support of emergency services in some situations."

So unless we are supporting an emergency, 500KHz seems to be a band for us to conduct experiments on.
