Dear Mal, LF Group,

Everyone can receive those signals in the UK, even with fairly poor receiving conditions (actually copying the traffic would be another matter - I wouldn't go there ;-)). Most are quite strong, and in a different octave of the spectrum from amateur activity, so not really a good receive performance check - rather like using BBC R4 on 198kHz as a test for 136kHz reception performance. But the frequencies you list are a long way out, a few hundred hertz low. There is spectrum display at http://abelian.org/vlf/spectrum.shtml with station IDs and accurate frequency calibration. Bear in mind that you do need to be able to set the RX frequency within a hertz or less, and have much less drift than that, for the kind of DX tests that have been done recently. Better in that case to dispense with the converter and RX, and just feed the signals direct into a PC sound card - frequency errors will be much smaller, and if you are using a reasonably large antenna, you probably won't even need a preamp.

Cheers, Jim Moritz

Does anyone else copy these signals? If not forget about VLF.
