*<- kills bugs dead

I recall reading an autobiography of a WWII submariner that discribed
what happened when they took their boat into the Great Lakes for some training.
In addition to having to remove a great wopping chunk of iron ballast from the
boat, they discovered that they were able to communicate by radio just as well
submerged as they could on the surface.  Now the I'm not sure just what
frequency band was used for W/T communications durring WWII but at least it
shows that some communication is possiable via radio from under fresh water.
