Hi Pete, Group.
I have tried for a year without luck to get authorisation to transmit
below 9 kHz. Even though this portion of the spectrum is not allocated,
it is still illegal to transmit there from what information is available.

Hi Horst
It is a sad fact but true.
To some extent the UK�authority seems to be slightly more enlighten
than some in EU.

I do not know the situation in Switzerland, but I bet it is similar as
in Germany.
You must not choose any frequency that seems not to be in use. Even
below 9kHz the situation was not quite clear for many years.
To transmit on 17,2 kHz you would have to apply for a special licence
- as for 500kHz e.g. But I am in doubt if you would get it. All other
ways would be illegal.
BTW transmitting below 9kHz or 500kHz is NOT HAM Radio in germany - no
Ham Radio frequencies. Officially you must not work crossband - 500kHz
/ 3650kHz for example. Its a strange world. Even the DARC will see
things this way. QSOs and QSLs are not valid for any contest or award.
They prefer a definition by laws instead of physics ;-))
But is there any wonder? 90% of HAM Radio is rag chewing on 80m SSB.
Experimenters are a minority.
How many hams have a computer with soundcard and how many hams are
watching for SAQ? About 250 have confirmed the last transmissions.
Unfortunately there is very few interest beside the mainstream.
