Low-radio-frequency observations played a remarkable role in the early days of radio astronomy; however, in the subsequent three or four decades their usefulness has largely been in terms of the finding-frequency of surveys. Recent technical innovation at the VLA has meant that spatially well-resolved imaging at low frequencies is now possible. Such imaging is essential to understanding the relationship between the hotspot and lobe emission in classical double radio sources, for example. We here present new images of 3C radio sources at 74 MHz and 330 MHz and discuss their implications.
