[CW] WH2XHY will operate Night of Nights on 475 kHz

[Radio K0HB]

Somebody please explain what is "experimental" about 475Kc.  55 years ago I used that QRG for routine communications on the high seas.  Now it's a big deal if heard in a nearby state?

The frequency will be                    475 kHz.  I'll use my JRC NSC17M maritime reserve transmitter operating into my Marconi L antenna.  Not a powerhouse like KSM, but in CW mode this setup has received reception reports in Wisconsin and surrounding states during the day, and throughout this region of the country at night.
