Amaterur radio is a random activity and creates more
excitement when one discovers a transmission and engages in a QSO.
even on VLF a surprise transmission is more exciting than
pre arranged skeds, most of my hits were by chance with confirmation afterwards
when I produced screen capture evidence.
also
it avoids cheating and speculation when some spec is seen
and claimed as evidence based only on frequency and time and
imagination.
Random activity is the norm on the other bands ie LF
and MF and works well
Announcing an expedition and the effort needed is
different, it alerts would be gazers to look out and listen.
I am in QSO mode always to work LF, MF and xband 9 khz/137
khz and must say disappointed not to hear/see anyone active on 9 khz from the
UK, or even 137 and 500 however I often see acty from EU ie DL and OE5
stations at great distances.
G3DXZ and G3XIZ appear at times on 500 and
G3XIZ also once in a while on 137

Subject: LF: VLF TX tests this weekend -
please tell us now!
Please would anyone doing VLF transmission tests this weekend
let us know as soon as possible and in advance? We've already
heard that DK7FC/P will not be testing this weekend (bad weather) but G3XIZ
will be. What about others?
So, if you plan to be active on VLF between
now and Monday please post here giving:
Dates/times when activity
expected
Frequencies
Type of transmission (long carrier, QRSS, DFCW
etc)
Power
Antenna
Location
I will add details of any
activities to the Sub
9kHz website news page too so as many people as possible know to look.
There is far more chance of getting reports if advanced warnings of activities
are given and people are prepared.
