Tnx Roger for the Met office details.
I will approach the 9 Khz slowly and in two stages.
Stage 1
When I have worked all of the UK stations that are active on 137 Khz on either CW or QRS3, most of whom I have not yet heard in spite of the fact I am working all around EU and Russia daily.
 
 
Stage 2
When I am able to hear/see the UK stations with NOV'S active on 9 Khz, none detected so far, although I am able to copy DK7FC and OE5ODL in QRS3 mode.
 
I specify the above criteria because it would be counter productive for me to embark on a project where there would be noone to communicate with.
I think UK amateurs would need to think in terms of Kilowatts and Amps on the lower frequencies like they do in EU and the USA.
otherwise VLF/LF/MF will turn out to be a DAMP SQUIB.

Hi Mal

The only requirement is to inform the Met Office when you'll be on-air - they always say OK - (they do this so they can check if they've had interference to their sensitive monitoring gear) and to submit logs. You would be a most valuable member of the Dreamers and I urge you to submit an NoV application. Looking forward to receiving your big signals soon.

All the best

Stefan es Ossi when you are ready for a QSO let me know.
 From recent observations on both signals I am satisfied that I can receive both at a satisfactory level for a QSO at between QRS 3 and QRS 30 depending on condx at the actual time. I will reply xband on either 137.7 Khz or 502.6 Khz if you can receive satisfactory on those frequencies. I do not have a permit for TX on 9 Khz and then I think one can only TX at a time convenient to the UK Met office.
 
Pse advise when you are QRV
