[IRCA] 530 kHz

["Karl J. Zuk" <karlzuk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The ARRL has applied to the FCC for a Part 5 Experimental license on behalf
of a group of amateurs interested in operating in the vicinity of 500 kHz.
ARRL General Counsel Chris Imlay, W3KD, announced the filing during a
meeting of the ARRL Executive Committee April 9 in Denver. The experimental
application was among several items the EC dealt with in addition to its
recommendations <http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2005/04/13/1/>
<http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2005/04/13/1/> to the ARRL Board of
Directors regarding a planned regulation-by-bandwidth petition.

If granted, the two-year Part 5 license would permit experimentation and
research between 495 and 510 kHz using CW and PSK31 at power levels of up to
20 W effective radiated power. ARRL Member Fred Raab, W1FR, of Burlington,
Vermont, would manage the project, which calls for 23 discrete fixed sites
from New England to California and Minnesota to Louisiana.
