I agree, it was a very goof idea to make this activity day and it was a 
big fun. A pity that we don't use the LF band more often. We should try 
more activity days, in shorter intervalls :-)
I want to try to add a LF RX to my remote system. It should be possible 
with the new Raspi 2 (900 MHz quad core CPU). Remembering some /p 
experiments with a RX loop in the forest...
