Hi Rik
 
In a french book called "Poste 85" describing the beginning of the electronics era during WW1 (telephone, radio, gonio, etc) , it is said that it was possible to listen to enemy telephone conversations by putting some rods in the ground and connecting them to a 3 triodes amplifier (the return audio ground current of the wire telephones were strong enough to allow conversations spying)

Hello Stefan,

what about "going underground".
I do remind an article on communication via some kind of ground antennas in the WW1 (or WW2 ?) trenches (I guess it wasn't very convenient to put up antennas within the sight of the enemy).
If I recall it right quite low frequencies were used.

Hallo Stefan,

there was a notice in Funkamateur 12/05, S. 1287, that in DL the range <9kHz is free.

I could not believe that so I asked the BNetzA and after a while I got a letter which confirmed that.

So there nothing you've got to do for getting a licence. You do not need one.

There is no limitation of technical parameters like bandwith or power.
