[Lowfer] 2200 Meter request for NPRM

[Zack Widup]

130 kHz to 450 GHz? What kind of experiments is he doing?

Being a microwave experimenter myself, I think I am in contact with just
about every other microwave/mm wave experimenter in the USA and several
overseas. I have never seen his name come up anywhere in those circles
before.
