I don't want to say for certain, but "seems" like VE1ZZ played around with this band as well some years back. I vaguely recall reading a story about Jack making this humoungous loading coil, but don't know how it even panned out. Was there a special temp permit?
Does anyone know? Jack/ZZ is not on the Internet, as far as I know.

Everyone should check out the following link: http://www.500kc.com/ One local amateur - Pat Hamel, W5THT, is participating in this experimental effort. He has been keeping the members of the Magnolia DX Association, K5MDX, and others fully informed on his progress. He has been heard in deep Oceania, and many two way QSO's around the country. He requests SWL reports be forwarded to the moderator of this experimental program. He documents his station and antenna system there as well. I am a retired USCG Chief Radioman, and have stood countless 500Khz radio watches, and am very familiar with propagation on the 600 meter band. Real DX is there at low power levels. Amatur radio operators should take a look at how the FAA does things on the 200-400 Khz Aeronautical Beacon band for antenna ideas and theory. 73 & Best DX Charlie WD5BJT See September 2006 CQ Magazine for a published work. www.qsl.net/wd5bjt ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
