Wolf. Receiving what ? I am not totally convinced. Receiving a signal a few= metres away is not what I call a good performance. A few hundred K/metres away on cw is what I expect and not QRS 20,000,= where it takes months to send a DOT. It is easy to generate a 9 kcs signal and high power audio amplifiers= are plentiful to radiate several K/watts to a loaded inverted L 20 + metre= s high. This is the easiest band to set up, the only time consuming part is wi= nding a suitable loading coil. Instead of going to Spain or Portugal for holidays I would suggest discerning vlf operators stay at home and wind coils this year. I am staying at home this year in case someone performs a MIRACLE and= it could be a German, English man is scared of being heard using HIGH po= wer.
