[Lowfer] Lowfer history

[Dave Brown]

Very interested to hear some of those recordings, Dex. Considering the 
simple gear those guys used they got some remarkable results.
 LF history in general and particularly early Part 15 work is well worth 
recording.
 For a more general overview of the history of amateur LF activity, (all 
somewhat more recent, but starting to date a bit now!)  check out Mike 
G3XDVs web page. He has a good summary of the more noteworthy events, 
contacts, etc.
