[Milsurplus] VLF radio frequencies

[howard holden]

Amateurs have from 476 to 479 KC, Navtex (weather) is on 518 KC, lots of 
NDBs still on between 480 and below, KPH is on 500 and 426 KC on 
Saturdays, WWVB is on 60 KC, and I think power companies use in the 
vicinity of 300 KC for meter monitoring?
