A low power test this afternoon yielded audible CW at 0.9km (!) on 8277 Hz with a home brewed direct conversion rx and miniwhip. It was a beautiful sunny day for a walk and strange looks from motorists as roadside field experiments progressed. The amazing Eu VLF results are inspiring and I hope to set a new dx record (>lambda/2pi) and achieve a 20uW ERP eventually. 73 to all VLFers Joe VO1NA
