The transmission from Dex coincided with the second night of
reception of Bob's signal. I put the two bands together in
this image

Dex informs me he was transmitting 2014-03-02 17:00 to
2014-03-03 12:00 so I have only picked up part of the
transmission. Propagation must have taken the rest.

In USA does an experimental license have to be obtained for 8.27kHz ?

Maybe not. I would say, take whatever antenna you have and put
some voltage on it. Recent history of VLF amateur operations
is characterised by pleasant surprise at how well a small ERP
can be detected at long range.

And Mike and Markus too, with the latter currently carrying the
distance record I believe - I make it 6451.7km from Bob to Nuernberg.
Dex to Todmorden is 6196km but with less ERP.
As always, the pleasure of taking part in a team effort far
exceeds that of any individual accolade.
