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?

A couple of weeks ago you referred to the 9 kcs
band as a CrackPot band, hardly 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
