VLF: 5,2 km distance on 8,97 kHz with an earth antenna

[Stefan Schäfer <Stefan.Schaefer@iup.uni-heidelberg.de>]

Dear LF/VLF,

Today i spent more than 8 hours in the forest on a hill 520m ASL, improving and experimenting with my VLF earth antenna. It was a fantastic and very successful day that gave a lot of fun and motivation. BTW, just spending time in this wonderful nature with all its beauty cannot be wasted time even if all the experiments would fail :-)))) That is what i thought many times this day. If you live in a city with much noise (on the band and audible) you may understand what i mean when i say that all you can hear there is the wind and some birds!

Since there are a lot of photos and things to tell i set up a pdf document with my report that is available at http://www.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/schaefer_vlf/VLF_5km_with_an_earth_antenna.pdf , for the VLF enthusiasts (Dreamers!) and those who want to become one! :-)

Best  73, Stefan/DK7FC
