Hi Everyone,
For some time the pages on my website that dealt with the various
aspects of VLF amateur radio below 9kHz needed attention. So,
today I've launched a new site entitled Sub
9kHz Amateur Radio bringing together information more
accessibly. The original pages just grew and grew as activity at
VLF just took off. It is almost 1 year to the day since Stefan
DK7FC made his first historic DX transmission on 8.97kHz. Since
then we've come a VERY long way.
The new site has a table showing the VLF DX records. I know this
is not fully populated or correct yet, so everyone's help is
needed to get this up to date in the next couple of days please. If
you are aware of errors or omissions please let me know right
away.
Another addition - to be much expanded - is a page on TX stations
and their equipment. Please let me have photos, schematics of
antennas, transmitters, loading coils etc. In some cases I have
used images on user's websites. If you have a problem with this
please tell me.
Another page deals with the kit needed to receive on the Dreamer's
Band. It is easy stuff that can be built by anyone. Also a page
linking the various software packages freely available. I want to
show that, on receive, VLF is something everyone can do. Radiated
TXing is a lot harder. Yet another page lists the VLF grabbers
(incomplete still - tell me of others) which are such a vital
resource.
The site has more information on earth mode (through the ground)
communication which is a very accessible way of starting out on
VLF as much of the kit is re-usable for experiments with radiated
VLF tests (same loops, probes, pre-amps and software can be used).
Please let me have constructive feedback so I can make this as
good as possible. I hope you enjoy the site.
