The region around 5 MHz is used by the federal government
in general (FEMA, etc.) and now by various "homeland
security" operations in particular. The reason for the
change from the original 50 KHz segment to five "spot
frequencies" with a 50 Watt ERP power limitation is to
protect government operations.
