OK, well here are mine.
As I understand it the LF bands were allocated on the grounds that they are
used mainly for experimental work. In this respect the development of small
antenna systems, class D PA's, narrow band modes and LF DX propagation
studies are fine example of this. The VHF receive transponder at Crawley is
a further example of this experimental work

Furthermore, we have an excellent medium for exchanging technical ideas and
propagation forecasts etc in the form of the RSGB LF reflector.

And what is it being used for?  So that our resident vociferous Luddite can
deride other peoples efforts in intimidating language.

Fine stuff for politics but not the language of amateur radio.

Peter, G3LDO
