[William R Colbert]

The range I have seen quoted is 1.7 thru about 80 Mhz
which takes out the low vhf tv bands and a lot of 
people are still using rabbit ears, especially if they
have satellite without local coverage.  Plus 6 meters.
I don't know if any of the Japanese recordings were
made in the broadcast band, but some were in the
5,6 and 9 Mhz ranges - terrible stuff.

I don't know who is running the hf program at the
FBI where I used to work, but I did pass along the
info to a former associate at DEA where I also
used to work and asked that he pass to headquarters
so that they could put pressure on NTIA else they
will lose all of their HF capability communications with
other base stations and to the aircraft on various missions.

I wonder if it is correct to inquire as to the amount of 
monies being paid to certain pushers of this communications 
disaster to be? Maybe an investigation by DHS on the 
scuttling of emergency communications and other communications
services in the HF/low VHF range is in order.
My feelings, anyway.
