This latest setup was put together for the SAQ test in December. I've used various loop antenna/receiver setups in the past and have had reasonable reception of SAQ however no reception of Alpha. This was the first time for the e probe / Perseus setup and it worked very well...after the e probe was put on battery power and transformer decoupled. Most of the time there were no 60 Hz products in the frequency range of interest (10 kHz - 80 kHz) and the noise floor was very clean sounding. No filtering was used between the e probe and Perseus.

There appeared to be a noticeable quiet spot in the waterfall between ~ 8 and 9 kHz. I didn't investigate if this was an anomoly in the system or if there happens to be a quiet spot at that frequency. As time permits I'll look into that further.

Tnx Jay, Uwe, Jean-Louis, group,

Jay, that sounds to be a good RX concept. You do not have a band pass filter in the preamp? What about the 50Hz or 60Hz ;-) lines and the levels they generate at your RX imput? No problem? Well decoupled by the transformer? Sounds easy and at once to be built...

On that VLF SDR, the russian transmitter at 11,904kHz is really weak to copy :-(

73, Stefan

Which commercial VLF transmitters can actually be received in the 10kHz range?

The Alpha stations on 11.9, 12.7 and 14.9 kHz are visible (cw speed waterfall) 
and audible here a
good percentage of the time. Receiving setup is 1 meter e probe (J310 version 
of the Amrad e probe,
battery powered and transformer decoupled) to a Perseus SDR receiver.

There is much listed
in the web but in times where these transmitters are shut down all this may be 
already old stuff.
Who is receiving in this frequency region and can tell us a frequency and the 
SNR he is achieving?
There are so many OMs who watch the VLF sector and have nothing done with LF 
and this group. Perhaps
it it an idea to activate/motivate them for some tests, to increase the RXers 
density.
Maybe it is good to compare some RX rprts in that region. But i will rather be 
active at the
transmitters front now ;-)
