A quick report of very modest progress on this side of the pond --
the new coil is behaving itself quite well and is not arcing.
A low power test this afternoon yielded audible CW at 0.9km (!)
on 8277 Hz with a home brewed direct conversion rx and miniwhip.
It was a beautiful sunny day for a walk and strange looks from
motorists as roadside field experiments progressed.

The amazing Eu VLF results are inspiring and I hope to set a new
dx record (>lambda/2pi) and achieve a 20uW ERP eventually.

73 to all VLFers
