[Lowfer] Medfer TX Loop Question(s)??

[Jonathan Jesse]

Bill brings up some good points about keeping 1750 the way it is but misses
one important point.  Some LOWFERS are not licensed hams and an official
Ham allocation would knock them out until they got licensed, if they wanted
a license.  If there's to be a VLF allocation, I hope it's down at 135 khz
like the Eu's and 1750 remains regulated and license free.
