[MilCom] Navy WI/MI ELF sites shutting down

[Larry Van Horn]

Since this event is right around the corner, instead of waiting for my
WUN Military/Government newsletter column to hit the website, I thought
some who monitor that region might be interested in this bit of news.

ELF Communications System
==========================
Frequencies: 76 Hz (primary) and 44 Hz (Secondary)
There are two transmit sites: Republic, Michigan and Clam Lake,
Wisconsin. This is used as a bell ringer communication system to
submarines.

Please note that these two broadcast will be turned off on September 30,
2004 and these two sites will be dismantled per an article in the Bay
City Times newspaper on September 13, 2004. 

73 all,
