VA3LK sounded about s4, compared to CFH which was s8 from 1200km away. At 1430z (10.30am local), VA3LK was slightly weaker. Larry's signal was certainly strong enough for a conventional CW contact. It is quite an adjustment to copy morse at 0.4wpm. Larry's location is less than 200km from here (near Ottawa), so this is no great DX, but this is the first Amateur LF signal I have heard to date. Larry is probably the only Canadian Amateur transmitting on LF at present. 73, Dave VE2ZP
