I've been in touch with Jim, NN4AA (ex WA4GHK) of Malabar, Florida.  We 
met some time ago due to our common interest in UHF and microwave.  I 
knew of his past North American 10 GHz DX record contact made with Todd, 
WD4NGG using Gunnplexers.  During a recent discussion with Jim I learned 
there was a 1968 CQ article about his Lowfer station.  Jim scanned and 
mailed me a copy which I have converted to .pdf format and temporarily 
placed on Dropbox:

Also Walt, W3WI, another old time Lowfer, has sent me a box of audio 
cassettes which has some of his Lowfer CW QSOs.  I plan to make convert 
at least some of the recordings to .mp3 and make them available online.  
Need to find a working cassette player first :)

Maybe the start of a Lowfer history page?
