Re: VLF: Experiments - anyone?

[Dexter McIntyre W4DEX <dexter.mc@gmail.com>]

Everything here the same as in June except for the oak trees being about 
90% bare and a slight bit more inductance needed to go below 9 kHz.  
Antenna current is 1 amp with a slight bit of wiggle due to I suspect 
wind moving the antenna wires.  HP signal source still connected to the 
GPS receiver which show lock.  HP3586 has no external reference lock 
indicator so I may somehow need to verify it's locked.
I'll cease transmitting between about 2100 to 2300UT while I'm away.  If 
all goes well I'll put the carrier back on until about 0400UT.
