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.

Beverage antenna (also) for transmitting : http://nrcdxas.org/articles/Beverage0183.pdf

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
