Excellent Steve, I wish you good luck and a  large and attentive audience.

I have presented talks on LF several times already at different places in
our country and found it very rewarding
.
It is well pay some attention to the receive side because that is where
newcomers have to start on.
Explaining  that my 2 x 20m dipole with 11m open feeder  working as a
T-aerial on 137kHz  is the equivalent of a T-aerial of 2 x 75cm and a
vertical leg of 40cm working on 80 metres makes it easy to understand for
the audience why the aerial has such low efficiency!.

An excellent idea, the audio tape, that I will incorporate in my coming
talks! There are two already planned.
Thanks Dave and Steve for the hint!
