Well, let's formulate a challenging goal for 2011, or more:
- A successful detection of a ham generated QRSS/DFCW signal arround 2 kHz, in DFCW-2400 or faster, in a distance above 150 km
- Beeing detected at KL7UK's VLF grabber is about 7500 km distance, over the pole
- Beeing detected in Iceland/TF and Greenland/OX
- Beeing detected below 4 kHz in at least 500 km (DFCW-600)
- Beeing detected on 5170 Hz above 1000 km (DFCW-600)
- Beeing detected on 6470 Hz above 2000 km (DFCW-600)
- A CW xband QSO on 9/xyz kHz, far field
- A DFCW-3 QSO on 9/137 kHz above 150 km
- Above 50 stations who can receive a VLF signal above 1 Lambda
Hmm, that would be fine. :-) Let's see it as a task list, to be remembered in exactly one year!
We should have set up such a list last year! ;-)

73 and much fun on VLF in 2011
