 Its a pity we no longer have 73kHz 
 Back in the early 1990's when that band was being proposed, one of the 
ideas put forward as an argument for getting it  was a link budget worked 
out showing how TA might be just about possible using coherent PSK with low 
symbol rates - something that would have been very difficult for amateurs in 
those early days of DSP. 
 The TA path was managed eventually once, or perhaps twice AFAIR,  by 
very slow QRSS at high power and, I think, a period of enhanced propagation. 
  Suspect it would be easy enough on EbNaut now. 
 The PIC 1kHz bandpass digitiser is a very neat way of doing the back end of 
an LF narrowband SDR, allowing embedded GSP timestamp and completely independent 
of all the nasties associated with soundcards
