No, I referred to your 'idea' of experimenting with high frequency
audio as 'crackpot', not VLF radio...
Actually, I've been highly supportive of Stefan's work and
communicate with him regularly. Unlike yourself, I have committed to
setting up a 8970Hz RX system that can actually hear using the
appropriate modern techniques. Testing of it yesterday proved
successful. Now to move the test transmitter into the far field to
see how it works with a much weaker radiated signal... Watch for a
8970 grabber in VE7 soon.
As I type this, I'm working on designing and perhaps beginning to
install this afternoon a ground loop RX antenna (about 700m long)...
Nightly I've been logging JXN (16.4KHz) and DHO38 (23.4KHz) and all
the Alphas on VLF even thou LF propagation to EU has been
disrupted. This gives me some encouragement that it may be worth
dreaming about... Actually now the Alphas are still nicely audible
in my wideband 'listening' RX.
So did you get a card from the toaster? What DXCC is that?

encouraging for those dedicated to having fun dreaming on that
frequency

Didn't you miss Stefan's last 8970 signal and log the
neighbour's toaster instead?

Beverages are not efficient
on RX either but have directional advantages. I have never
missed any DX signals by not having one.

Antennas described on
here recently on or near the ground are only
variations of Beverage antennas and inefficient for
Transmitting but useful for Receiving under certain
circumstances
