I am interested in reviving the neglected band (160-190 KHZ) for experimentation with antennas with radical geometries. People have pretty much lost interest because of the limitations place on the band. I am thinking that WSPR could be used to ignite some interest. I would appreciate your comments dearly!

Some thoughts:

It should be legal.
It would likely set new distance records.
Maybe a weak signal protocol could renew interest.
With the possible finding of better antennas it could also renew interest.
