[edit] Move back to 500 kHz?

In February, this page was moved to International Distress Frequency from 500 kHz. I question whether that was a good idea. There are other international distress frequencies (121.5 MHz, Marine Ch. 16, etc.) and in most places 500 kHz is no longer one of them. Maybe 500 kc would be the best name.--agr 16:29, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll move the page to 500 kc if there are no objections.--agr 18:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Most nations ended monitoring of transmissions on 500 kHz, but Indian Navy is still using it as dstress frequency and monitoring 500 KHz in all its stations and ships.
