...teeth of a cold, hostile, subsidy-loving audience, the President of the U.S. last week laid down his philosophy that Government aid should be a stopgap thing and hinted strongly that it was high time for his listeners to stop asking for more subsidies. Occasion: the meeting of 8,000 delegates to the 17th annual convention of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, lobbyist for the farm co-ops subsidized by the U.S. under the Rural Electrification Administration...

Employee Eli Kasper testified that a group of ex-convicts, in order to carry out the association's picketing, got a union charter as Local 19 of the Federal Service Workers Union; later became Local 266 of the Teamsters International and as Teamsters could stop truck deliveries...

Disadvantage is that high frequency waves are line-of-sight (like those used for TV), and therefore stop at the horizon. Airplanes flying above 20,000 ft. can detect them 200 miles away. But for low-flying airplanes and helicopters, their range may be only a few miles, hence the need for many stations in a VOR/DMET system...
