the radionews service had a brief article on this a while back, 500
khz, saying only China still uses 500 khz, for coastal traffic, and will
soon migrate off, and therefore there is a proposal to create a mini ham
band or channel around 500 khz (20 khz or so?) to honor the many radio
officers who died sending distress calls and lives saved etc.
