Dimitris, what about your recent VLF experiments? Any progress?

=A0I have built a simple xtal based oscillator for 8.7 = kHz which is coupled to a small audio amp (~10W). I am planning to use that= to do some tests with the earth dipole to get some real data. If that work= s, I will probably build a simple RF generator capable of more power.

With the success I am having currently with the earth dipole at 136 kHz= (250 m earth dipole, 2 W RF, QRSS30, solid copy received by VK2XV at 217 k= m), I will focus on the earth dipole first before I start thinking of anyth= ing else. I will let the group know if there are any developments in that f= ront.

In the meantime, here is some food for thought:
