Locator here is FN15nt. Thanks for the offer of help in setting up a grabber.
I'll have to get some kind of receiver working
reasonably well first. I have in the past copied SAQ (very weakly) using a
40-turn square loop (28" sides) with an OP-27 preamp
running into a sound card using SM6KLM's software, but I'd need something
bigger than that for your 9 Khz signal. Let me see
what I can come up with.
