WSPR

Hello All,

Is there any WSPR stations transmitting on 500 KHZ ( 600 Meters )
in the lower 48 states ?

Thanks to All
Ken K5DNL

Re: WSPR

Shouldn't be, since the special authorization for 600 meters expired in
the US at the end of 2010.

A shame, too, since I was the lucky(?) winner of the 600m transverter
kit at the 2011 FDIM.

I ended up doing some swapping with the rep and got a dual band 40 and
20 meter receiver kit, instead.

Really? That certainly doesn't seem to be the case if you visit
http://www.500kc.com/

There is also WSPR activity in the UK on 500kHz. G4JNT runs a beacon on
503.7kHz (see http://groups.google.com/group/uk500khz/web/multi-
function-beacon-by-andy-g4jnt) and I know there are others. But you
probably won't hear them in the USA at this time of the year?

I was on 500kHz a few years ago, but only on CW. See

In reply to this post by K5DNL

Sorry, that's 80 and 40 meters (not 40 and 20). The kits were from
JUMA. I note on their web page, that after Jul 31 of this year, they
will lose their distributor of kits, and so they not be available
anymore. If you enjoy (?!) soldering surface mount, this may be your
last chance for a while to pick up some nice QRP kits.

Sorry for the commercial nature of the message. I'm not tied to these
folks in any way, other than having a (still unassembled) receiver kit.
