Yes I remember a time - a few years ago now - that VLF didn't
go beyond the back yard, a time when there was talk of
dreamers on the LF list and the sound of gauntlets hitting
the floor.

Did someone change the laws of physics?  No, someone came along
with a big kite and changed the game.

And now - messages are routine, 10uW will do 1000km, 150uW
for T/A.

But, it is still not easy to tx or rx.  The wavelength, the QRM,
the counting of electrons, the effort to claim another 0.1 dB.

It can never be plug and play like HF or VHF.

Thank goodness for that!
