[Lf] Ooops ?

[Andre' Kesteloot]

Hello John,

Re your article in the Lowdown for August 2000, page 15, my remarks at
the AMRAD LF Symposium certainly were not meant to be in any way
disparaging to the LWCA.  As I recall, I did say something to the effect
that  "...compared to the efforts of amateur radio operators in Europe,
the US side" [i.e., members of the LWCA and AMRAD] "have been involved
more in beaconing than actual two-way communications".  
In addition, during the Symposium, Henry Lee was asked to present his 
views on LowFers activities, and offered details of various receivers.

Incidentally, when I addressed the RSGB LF Forums in England, both in
October 1998 and 1999, I uttered there what I believe were very
complimentary remarks about the pioneering efforts of LowFers in the US
in general, mentioning specifically Lyle Koehler and Bill Bowers.

Hoping that this clarifies things a bit  :-)
