                the preparatory ITU-CCIR studies to WARC-79 the desirability of 
                LF small secondary access was emphasised by SPM-WARC79 (Special 
                Preparatory Meeting -of the ITU to WARC); however WARC-79 ran 
                out of time and the subject was left unresolved
