Yes we are re-discovering what hams 100 years ago found out, the advantages of the short waves for long distance communications. I recommend reading "200 Meters and Down" by Clint B. DeSoto published by the ARRL. At the turn of the last century conventional wisdom held that you needed high powered LF and VLF for long distance communications, it was the hams that discovered short waves could accomplish the same thing with much less effort. -- 73 Warren K2ORS/WD2XGJ/WD2XSH/23/WE2XEB/2 FN42hi http://www.w4dex.com/wd2xgj.htm
