Dear John, LF group, Lowfers

Very sorry to hear about the FCC's absurd decision. The ARRL report reads:-

 >The FCC said a new amateur LF allocation is not justified "when balanced 
against the greater public interest of an interference-free power grid."

Have they got this the right way round? Virtually all radio services on LF 
suffer a continual and steadily increasing amount of interference from the 
power grid, but I have yet to hear of an instance where radio signals cause 
interference problems to the power grid. All seems a bit "Alice in 
Wonderland"...as if a secretary somewhere had made a typo, and no-one who 
knew anything about the subject had ever checked it.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
