   From QRZ.Com, the Icom handout, and Part 97 Of The FCC Rules -   
   Ham Radio Glossary - An overview of amateur radio terms.   
      
   LF   
   Low Frequency. The frequency range from 30 to 300 Mhz signals.   
      
   LID   
   Slang term, often referring to an amateur radio operator with very poor   
   practices and manners.    
      
   LIon   
   "Lithium-Ion". A type of rechargable battery commonly used with radio   
   equipment. It has better capacity that the Ni-Cad (Nickel Cadmium),   
   Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride), etc. -- and it has no memory effect after   
   repeated non-full charge/discharge cycles.   
      
   Line A. Begins at Aberdeen, WA, running by great circle arc    
   to the intersection of 48 degrees N, 120 degrees; W, thence along    
   parallel 48 degrees; N, to the intersection of 95 degrees; W,    
   thence by great circle arc through the southernmost point of    
   Duluth, MN, thence by great circle arc to 45 degrees N, 85 degrees   
   W, thence southward along meridian 85 degrees W, to its intersection   
   with parallel 41 degrees N, thence along parallel 41 degrees N, to    
   its intersection with meridian 82 degrees W, thence by great circle    
   arc through the southernmost point of Bangor, ME, thence by great   
   circle arc through the southernmost point of Searsport, ME, at   
   which point it terminates.   
       
   Local control   
   The use of a control operator who directly manipulates the operating   
   adjustments in the station to achieve compliance with the FCC Rules.   
       
   Logbook Of The World   
   The ARRL Logbook Of The World system is a repository of log records   
   submitted by users from around the world. When both participants in a   
   QSO submit maching QSO records to LoTW, the result is a QSL that can   
   be used for ARRL award credit. Other electronic QSL systems, such as   
   EQSL, can NOT be used for ARRL awards. For more information, go to   
   http://www.arrl.org/lotw   
      
   LOS   
   "Loss of Signal" from a satellite; occurs when the satellite becomes   
   "invisible" to the antenna as it goes below the horizon.   
      
   LoTW   
   See "Logbook Of The World".   
      
   Lowfer   
   One who experiments with radio communications at unusually low frequencies   
   (typically 1750 Meters, which is 160-190 kHz and can be used under FCC   
   Part 15). For more information, take a look at   
   http://www.altair.org/lowfer.htm (courtesy of N4YWK).
