Dear Mal, LF Group,

If you look at it more generally, this experiment shows that anybody with 
access to an ordinary PC and a few simple homebrew bits and pieces can 
measure signal frequencies within a few parts per billion, easily monitor 
drift of high-stability oscillators, etc., which I think is quite 
interesting to radio amateurs and others. I'm not expecting to have a VLF 
QSO any time soon, but there are plenty of other interesting things to do 
along the way.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
