Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, definitely. You can think of the trade off roughly as "frequency increases increase bandwidth and decrease penetration/range"

Until you get to x-rays! I've always wondered why this is

If you are looking at xray penetration in the atmosphere, it is very opaque. Almost no xrays get through hence why space telescopes are needed to do xray astronomy.

For the lazy who were hoping to find an audio clip in the article: you can find some here: http://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/The_Buzzer_(ZhUOZ_MDZhB_UZB76)

A few years back some brave souls visited the site of the old transmitter at Povarovo and posted some pictures and video of the trip: http://bydunai.livejournal.com/749.html

Old soviet infrastructure like this always reminds me of the STALKER games.
