This paper is concerned with developing reasonable criteria for the selection of frequency and power for very low and low‐frequency (VLF/LF) transmitting stations. The approach uses a wave guide model for low‐frequency propagation and accounts for the variability of the ionosphere. A sample problem involving a hypothetical transmitter is described.
