LF: U.S. VLF License WH2XBA

[Warren Ziegler <wd2xgj@gmail.com>]

Hello the list,

    Several questions have come up concerning the WH2XBA grant and I thought I might address them here.  Bob W2ZM contacted me about applying for a grant at the top end of the vlf range (just below 30kHz).

The thought was that the high end of vlf would be a bit less challenging than the low end below 9kHz (which is unregulated).

    Some of the usual suspects expressed interest so they were added to the application. Also Jim AA5BW - Jim and I have a mutual friend through work - Jim is highly capable and  technical and has multiple sites throughout the country.   There was some concern that the frequencies around 30kHz were unoccupied due to propagation reasons and some thought it might be good to go a bit higher, hence the 27-59kHz range, leaving clearance for WWVB at the top end. 

     The license is for 5W ERP, 27-59kHz, CW and every data mode that I could think of.

    The application was filed on January 29 and the license issued on February 27 - this was despite some Federal Holidays and closings due to blizzards!  So I suspect that it didn't raise too many questions.

     The stations are:

WH2XBA/1     Bob W2ZM

WH2XBA/2   Warren K2ORS

WH2XBA/3     Jay W1VD

WH2XBA/4     Dex  W4DEX

WH2XBA/5   Laurence KL1L 

WH2XBA/6 /7 /8 etc etc James Plesa AA5BW
