[Lowfer] The Last Radio Network

[Les Rayburn]

For those with an interest in "Atomic Culture" or just the history
of longwave radio, you might be interested in reading a great
article by Bennet Kobb, KC5CW.

It details the efforts of the government to create an early
warning radio system on longwave, and specifically
the transmissions of station WGU-20 on 179khz.

It can be viewed at:

If anyone has a recording of these test transmissions, I'd love to get
a copy. I'd be willing to trade copies of the recent lowfer
video documentary. A small MP3 or .WAV file would be fine.
