       One of the largest VLF/LF clubs in the United States is	the
       Longwave	 Club  of  America.   This club	publishes a monthly
       newsletter, "The	Lowdown",  in  which  Ken  Cornell,  W2IMB,
       writes a	column devoted to 1750 meter operation.	 The column
       contains	equipment schematics and  antenna  information	for
       this  experimenters' band, as well as information on beacons
       and activity there.

       Ken  Stryker,  of  Chicago,  writes  the	 "Lost	and   Found
       Department" column, identifying various VLF beacons (air	and
       marine) for members.

       The club	address	is:
		 Longwave Club of America
		 45 Wildflower
		 Levittown, PA 19057

       Membership dues are $10 a year, which  include  First  Class
       mailing	of  the	 newsletter.  The newsletter is	good ... no
       hype or commercial advertisements.  Looks like a	decent club
       for those interested in operation at low	frequencies.
