Hi Alan,
Thanks for the nice words and your point of view. I can totally agree.
Yes i also remember the discussions about the possibilities on < 9 kHz.
Now we even learned that not even a kite antenna is needed to see
something on the screen. We just have to wait very long and have very
accurate frequencies. It seems no one tried that before, over a distance
of some 100 km. The antennas and technic was already available but it
took some time longer :-)

Hi Stephan, Gerhard, I have an approach that says " If its new to you its 'research' " Lots of
usefull stuff has been learned by repeating old observations in the light of new information and with newer
equipment. If you read the old LF propagation papers much is biassed towards the commercial use at that time.
Few is any researchers would be interested in using "small" antennas etc. Few were interested in
really long propagation paths after HF became common, and even then "more watts" was seen as the
easy answer. They were written mostly before satellite Space Weather data was available.
I am reminded of the comments made by some when we started on 73kHz...That "We would
not get a signal out of our 'back-garden' with 1 watt" :-))
Keep it up

Hi Gerhard,
Yes, of course. I just meant the "official" researchers who
do that work as their job to earn money and (have to)
publish their work on conferences and in various papers. For
them it is important to be "the first" one who describes a
phenomen. We are in the situation to do what we want to do,
just for fun and extremely relaxed :-) If our work is "new"
then it is fine and if it is "re-inventing the wheel" then
it is fine too :-)

Stefan !
I think WE ARE researchers in some way. Maybe not all
of us do have the
theoretical background which is "necessary" do to
"real" research
(whatever that means) but sometimes I think this could
be an advantage.
