I fully agree, Dimitris.
2.1 kHz is totally enough on 137 kHz so why do i need 8 kHz BW? And why
should i loose interest just because others have 27 kHz??? Is there a
logic behind that? Also, as we can read, some are to lazy to resonate
on another frequency. What a terrible high effort! So why do we need
10s of kHz if not even willing to resonate to the other end of the
band?
BTW about the 5W. We all know that any serious contest station on HF
does not really care about a power limit. The same on EME on VHF/UHF.
We all know it and it seems to be accepted. Otherwise most contest HQ
stations must have been disqualified in the past, but they weren't.
Thinking psoitive is the right way. 5 W EIRP is more than many will
ever radiate so who cares? Not everyone is interested in DX. I also
prefer some nice local contacts to a loong DX that takes not even a
minute, if at all.
Dimitris, what about your recent VLF experiments? Any progress?

I can certainly live with that. Fingers crossed now for
WRC-12. And a well done to those that achieved this outcome. I hear
that it hasn't been an easy task.
There is still plenty of things to do with 5 W radiated. Isn't this
radio hobby of ours all about the challenge anyway? Smaller rigs, less
global warming :-) Also, bigger wavelength, isn't that better? :-)
Seriously, better this than nothing. New crystals can be cut, and the
antennas can be tuned. 8 kHz is plenty too. Sometimes, at least in this
part of the world, I even think that 2.1 kHz is an unimaginably huge
bandwidth for the modes that are the most popular (QRSS and friends).
Just my humble opinion anyway.

During the meeting of the CEPT WRC-12 Conference
Preparatory Group held in Bucharest between November 1st-4th 2011 an
European Common Proposal was agreed. This ECP represents the block
vote of 48 administrations and was passed without dissent. It
proposes an allocation to the amateur service between 472-480 kHz on a
secondary basis with a maximum power limit of 5W eirp.
This ECP will now be forwarded to the ITU as a contribution from CEPT.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who
participated in the work of the working group that led to the adoption
of this proposal. Also thanks are due to those European Member
Societies who helped to influence their national administrations in
this matter.
Now for WRC-12.
