I'm no expert in Wifi or in FFT so I'm forwarding your reply to the list
hoping
someone with experience with FFT could share lights on OFDM uses of
FFT functions below the 30khz range... In other words could FreeBSD be
used to control the
electromagnetic energy input from out-of-band VLF/ELF waves ?
 

Thanks,

No. FFT has nothing to do with this.
FFT is a mathematical transform. Nothing more, nothing less.

It is not.

A modulation scheme can be used at any frequency. Nothing to do with the
frequency itself.
