VLF grabber at VE2IQ is on and will be active through the day.  We can always dream.  Good luck Stefan!

Eddie, VLF,

The coil and PA and all the parts are here now and maybe i will do first tests tomorrow in the afternoon on 8970 Hz.

The goals would be to resonate on the frequency and apply 50 kV rms or more. Oh i just calculated: My coil has about 550 mH and the antenna 473 pF. So i need about 100 pF from somewhere else, remembering my homemade plate capacitor with the cola bottles as the spacing insolator ;-) The coil has about 320 Ohm DC resistance and if i actually want to apply 50 kV, i would need 1.2 kW for that. No problem for the PA i think. The ERP will be below 1 mW anyway :-(

But the background noise is extremely low in the last time and if i can a stable signal over several hours i expect to be visible in many spectrograms.
