[time-nuts] Cutler NAA on 24.0kHz....

The fact is its on the web. :-)
I was surprised that the documents said that also given most LF Ham systems
are very inefficient given what we have to work with in $ and space. But
then again its no an amateur installation. With 16 X 825 ft towers and
miles of wire over salt flats and water. Matching systems that are like a
Frankenstein movie.
