600M tests
As Dale mentioned the FCC has authorised some ham tests on the 600M
band. I heard part of what might be the NEED call he heard, but a lot of local QRM and the QRN from lightning made listening roguh. Terrry From http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lowfrequency/message/189 "LF fans have something new to listen for in the 505-510 kHz frequency band. A group radio amateurs at 21 locations have been granted an experimental licence to operate here by the FCC. For the last several nights I have been hearing at 506kHz, a CW beacon with call sign WD2XSH/20 originating with N6LF at Cottage Grove Oregon around 8 pm PST and later. From the ARRL Web Site: NEWINGTON, CT, Sep 15, 2006 -- (As of September 13, 2006) The FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology has granted a Part 5 experimental license to the ARRL on behalf of a group of radio amateurs interested in investigating spectrum in the vicinity of 500 kHz. Experimental license WD2XSH was issued September 13. The two-year authorization permits experimentation and research between 505 and 510 kHz (600 meters) using narrowband modes at power levels of up to 20 W effective radiated power (ERP). ARRL Member Fritz Raab, W1FR, of Vermont, will serve as experimental project manager for "The 500 KC Experimental Group for Amateur Radio." More information can be found at the ARRL website. A list of participants and a map showing their location can also be found at www.500kc.com. Les Layton Las Vegas, NV" |
