[Lowfer] WRC-12 passes 472-479 kHz allocation

[Stan, W1LE]

Any idea how much RF input power would be needed to achieve a 5W EIRP 
with a vertical antenna with a top hat ?
Let's assume New England terrain with a minimum ground screen.

I consider this as progress.

Thanks to all those who have persevered to operate on the ~ 500 KHz band.
