Hey

I read (in CQ i think) that 200 Meters will be made available for ham
but at i think was 1 watt ERP and as secondary user to the band

I don't think so! 200m is 1.5 MHz,right in the AM broadcast band.

Yessir it is!

I'm wondering if they meant 2000m which is 150 KHz rounded off. There has been a push to make 137 KHz a ham band and it is available in a handfull of countries. I wish they would make the 160-190 KHz "lowfer" band a ham band. It is available in Canada and the USA for experimenters and is license free with an erp of 1 watt.It is refered to as the 1750m band.
