Well
Worth checking :)) ,
The recent history of English words and radio regulations is non too
coherent , with the un-intended allocation of data to the EU and the
accidental and calamitous use of the (... ...) word ... anything is
possible , the only sure thing is the answer is = 42
Yes sad point on the applied and eventual on air status ... not
just confined to the other side of pond either ... reception and
transmitting are really two hobbies, some times combined, from long
ago, one memorable comment was, '' for every minuet you talking you
missing 10 interesting things you could be hearing'' kind of makes
sense? Ae wise , 2 square inches of PCB to receive and a small
ranch to transmit may have something to do with it on 136 , 500 ,
Still a lot of myths about over Ae sizes, the standard marine set up
was not much more than 30 to 40 feet of wire from the roof of
the radio room to the top 'T' wire .. ok the boat and the sea
helped, a fan vertical feed and the funnel woks nicely for the
'gray line' but you can see the point , these are not 'big' arrays
?

Graham, Stefan,
The license does state that the operator must stay within band
limits despite the 95% frequency tolerance (which is an obvious
error).
As for the phrase 'amateurs in Miami Florida' he is referring to
himself and a friend who is helping him out with the antenna - not ALL
amateurs in Florida!
It is very common for hams here to use the phrase "VLF" to refer to
EVERYTHING below the medium wave broadcast band.
Many times I have been asked about my "VLF" operation and it turns out
the person wanted to know about my 500kHz activity!
In fact if you look at the WSPR.ORG website 500kHz is listed under
"LF/VLF"!
Juan has been actively reporting reception of 500kHz stations in the
US so I am hopeful that he is serious and will get on the air.
There have been any number of others who have applied for and been
issued a license and never got on the air for one reason or another.

Hi John,
Interesting. That mail was written as if operation below 1.8 MHz would be
a
totally new thing :-)
Do you know if it is actually 130 kHz or will they get the same range as
we
all have?

10.15.2011 - FCC issues Experimental License Grant WF2XXQ to operate on
the
130KC and 500KC bands to Licensed Radio Amateur Juan A. Granados /K4LCD
until 10.01.2016.
As part of our VLF - Very Low Frequency amateur radio experiment, on
September 6, 2011 we submitted an application for an Experimental License
to
operate within certain parameters in the 130KHz and 500KHz bands.
130 kHz = VLF???
