[SEDXC] Note on the 500 khz band

[David Thompson]

>From The Mississippi SM September report and W5XX:    Can you tune to 500 
khz?

>From the no mans land below the AM Broadcast band WD2XSH/6 (W5THT) reports 
that the ARRL-sponsored 600 meter experiment group has been recharged with 
the granting of a revised license. There are now 45 stations authorized on 
600 meters counting the individuals, who obtained licenses on their own. 
Further, the first one-way signals have been copied both ways across the 
Atlantic, but the FCC did not allow WD2XSH international communication 
authority.  Many digital modes are now authorized for everyone and stations 
in the northeast are authorized USB.  W5THT requests that all hams and SWL's 
listen or watch the frequencies from 495 to 510 KC and report receptions on 
the form provided on www.500kc.com.

If you have a 160 antenna use that and a pre-amp with the General Coverage 
part of your transceiver.  This may be a new ham band one day.
