Hi Joe,

Fine to hear that you're give it a try. Please, don't ask Industry Canada if the 10mW is RF power of ERP!

To get out a real signal on VLF, there is no alternative to a real large coil without ferrites! Think about the high voltages... But 100m of antenna wire is a good start. I remember 550 mH for my 100m kite antenna. For me it was 2000m of 0.4mm diameter wire :-) Nice work is that. Takes long but is a funny game :-)

73, GL, Stefan

Dear Group,

I tried again to get an LOA for VLF. This time, the response from Industry Canada was favourable: 10 mW 8.0-8.3 kHz. Yesterday, after a few slight rf burns, and thanks to PA0RDT's miniwhip design and DL4YHF's Spectrum Lab and advice, VLF sigs on 8.277 kHz were heard at 200m from the 100m wire aerial. This was a reception outside my back yard! 10 watts from an 1970's keyboard amp (volume control set on 3) were stepped up with an xfmr to a lossy 500 ohm tuning coil peaked with a ferrite rod for maximum squeal at L=0.35 H.

Is it possible for someone who is not especially enthralled by winding
a mile of 0.7mm wire to use an iron core to make a VLF tuning coil?
