Hello Lubos,

 

to my knowledge in following countries have 500kHz licences:

- Belgium: 1 station regulary active (me), 2 other stations seldom active

- Canada: 2 stations active

- Croatia: but no activity so far

- Czech Republic: 1 station active (you)

- Denmark: 1 station active, not sure if it includes OY and OX

- Germany: beacon mode only

- Ireland: 2 stations active

- Iceland: but no activity so far

- Netherlands: plenty of activity

- New Zealand: some activity, but probably out of reach for Europe

- Norway: 1 station active

- Sweden: 2 stations active

- UK: plenty of activity (so far DXCC G, GI, GM and GW activated)

- USA: plenty of activity, some beacon, some 'QSO mode' (so far DXCC W en KL7 activated)

 

So if you go for the DXCC:

- already active in Europe: G, GI, GM, GW, EI, LA, OK, ON, OZ, PA, SM (11)

- already active outside Europe: VE, W, KL7, ZL (4)

- could be activated in Europe : GD, GJ, GU, TF, 9A, maybe OY and OX (ok that's NA)

 

Maybe it is about time to set up a "first list" for 500kHz ?

Hello Rik!

Thanks for ecouraging information. I hope, that condx will be right this autumn. I am not sure which stations in Europe are able to do QSO with me (which stations have got a special licence for 600m band). It might be good to write them and  ask them to do QSO.

I am going to be QRV on 501.888kHz from 18:00 to 21:00UT this night. I will be receiving on 3570kHz for crossband QSO as well.

73, Lubos, OK2BVG

Hello Lubos,

 

1W ERP is OK for working Europe on 500.

I am running about the same power (ERP) and have worked all European countries that are active in CW  plus VE in QRSS3. Further RX reports from as far as TF, OH, UA3, LZ and SV in CW and 4X  in QRSS3.

I have been heard in the US and have heard US stations last winter, so even central Europe to US east coast should be possible with 1 W ERP when condx are right.

But more ERP is better for DX, no doubt ...

Hello Rik!

Thanks for the good report. I am quite surprise at it, becouse my ERP power is still only 1W. My bigger PA is not complete yet.

Have a nice weekend!

Lubos, OK2BVG

Hi Lubos,

 

you are a solid 589 here, but no takers ...
