There is an abundance of theoritical discussion going on that bears no relationship to REALITY. Too many assumptions, and too wide of the mark when one tries to implement them. The real proof of success will be judged by listening on LF to signals being emitted from the various sources. Those doing the job properly will be obvious from the strength of the signals received. Data modes would not fair very well today with static crashes S9 plus 40, but I could manage a short exchange of RST and callsign on CW without difficulty. 73 de G3KEV
