[ICOM] 500 kHz transceiver?

[Hans Remeeus]

Hello Mike,

There are ideas to open the 500 kHz for Ham Radio. Please have a look at

Long time ago I used the FT-1000MP (not Mk-V or Field) and this rig 
could produce a signal on 500 kHz.

 From 1971 till 1989 I was one of the operators of the Coastal Station 
Scheveningen Radio PCH and very often operated the 500 kHz. This 
frequency has a lot of memories for me and I cannot wait to use it as a 
Ham...
