Default WD2XSH Experimental CW on 506.05 kHz

By George your are right. It is MW. Just out of habit I seem to
consider everything below 530 kHz LW.

Gil - I did copy the other station WD2XSH/17 signal on 505.05 later
last night.

Hearing WD2XSH/12 on 506.05 kHz sending CW ident at 0330 UTC. Very slow
QSB. I think this is a Colorado station. This is the experimental LW
band that will hopefully be a new ham band in the future.

Equipment: Icom R70 and Kenwood R-5000 with 250' long wire and passive
preselector. Also using Autek AF-1A audio filter.

I believe that 500KHz is still well within the MW band (300KHz- 3MHz)

Those are old maritime coms frequencies.. would make an interesting ham
band, but my goodness the antennas we'd need for them..
