Odd that the USCG would care.  They ceased guarding 500 kc/s several years
*before* U.S. maritime Morse operations ended on 12 JUL 99.

I heard that Cuba, and perhaps a couple of other countries, claimed
continued use of Morse operations in the 420 to 520 kc/s band and had
objected to re-allocation.
