A.N.A.R.T.S. News Bulletin 1435 for 11th of March 2007

Australia's WIA applies for 500 kHz amateur allocation: The Wireless
Institute of Australia (WIA) <http://www.wia.org.au/> has applied to the
Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) for experimental access
to a small band of frequencies near 500 kHz. Amateur Radio operators in the
United States, the UK, Sweden and Germany have recently been granted
experimental or provisional access to frequencies just above 500 kHz. The
New Zealand Amateur Radio Transmitters also has applied for access to the
band. The WIA requests a temporary/experimental amateur allocation of
505-515 kHz, in line with current medium-frequency allocations available to
radio amateurs and experimenters in Europe and the US.
