I had read the ZEVS article but not the Ground_dipole one. The former was originated by someone who seems to be a Russian electrical engineer, so I guess that he's likely to be a reasonably reliable source, though we still don't seem to have a concrete primary source - unless there is something buried in the Russian language references in the articles. and the Ground_dipole article appears to confirm that it is in fact called Zeus. Interesting to note the use of the name of a God in what was an atheist country!

Yes. At least according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_dipole VLF engineers seem to have a hang for BIG (nick)names - Goliath, Alpha & Omega, Zeus... 73, Markus > >
