On Thursday, the Navy will shut off its extremely low frequency (ELF) radio
transmitters in northern Wisconsin and Michigan, saying the 15-year-old system,
first proposed in the 1960s, is outdated and no longer needed. The Navy now
will use 12 "very low frequency" transmitters located worldwide.



Operated at 44 Hz, and other Ultra Low Frequencies capable of penetrating
seawater.

Wonder if it'll show up as surplus?
