Hi Stephan, Gerhard, I have an approach that says " If its new to you its
'research' " Lots of usefull stuff has been learned by repeating old
observations in the light of new information and with newer equipment. If you
read the old LF propagation papers much is biassed towards the commercial use
at that time. Few is any researchers would be interested in using "small"
antennas etc. Few were interested in really long propagation paths after HF
became common, and even then "more watts" was seen as the easy answer. They
were written mostly before satellite Space Weather data was available.
I am reminded of the comments made by some when we started on 73kHz...That "We
would not get a signal out of our 'back-garden' with 1 watt" :-))
Keep it up
