                      ......what very sensible advice you have given Mal.


Experimentation using weak signal beaconing/communications modes in various forms coupled with internet feedback/liaison is very much part of what amateur radio is about in the 21st century. 

Although many of us enjoy simple routine QSOs with others and get very excited by the excellent HF conditions of late, the real heart (and true purpose) of amateur radio has always been in experimentation and in learning new things - i.e. pushing the boundaries ever wider. 

Our hobby is changing with a dynamic new phase opening up in which new frontiers are being explored. One can continue to enjoy the hobby using traditional methods (until all we old men die out?) or embrace the future. Personally I am looking forward to the future of the hobby with great enthusiasm and excitement. VLF and LF are certainly a reat places to enjoy this.

Long live true experimental amateur radio!
