NoV permits for operation below 9kHz
OFCOM has informed me today that, subject to acceptable outcomes of consultation with other sub-9kHz spectrum users such as the Met Office, they will consider issuing NoVs (similar to those issued for 501-504kHz) to existing UK radio amateurs to permit operation at frequencies below 9kHz. Any such operation would be on a non-interference basis. Application forms should be submitted to Rod Wilkinson at OFCOM (with as much detail as possible) using the NoV form available at http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radiocomms/ifi/licensing/classes/amateur/applications/ofw306.pdf

Wow! Good work. Reading other posts has made me realise that VLF/ELF is current. I'm very interested in what the met offices uses this spectrum for - I guess RX monitoing of the earth's natural waveguide around 8khz to get an idea of atmospheric electrical activity.

They monitor sferic activity to track approaching storms.
