Hello Mike,

I understand that for most of us it is just another band. For me this is 
very different. In my professional time the 500 kHz was a very important 
distress frequency. It is almost unbelievable that we will be able to 
use such a frequency for ham radio; very very cool indeed!

Here you can see a photo of me from 1977 when I was operating the 500 
kHz during a night shift:
