LF: VLF Transmissions from Spacecraft

[Peter <pws@df3lp.de>]

FYI:

The "DSX" satellite will carry a 0.5-0.9 kw, 3 to 50 kHz (pulsed?) VLF 
transmitter.
Citation from: www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a531813.pdf :

"...and a two week high-power VLF transmission campaign will occur near the 
end of the mission." End of life is planned at 12 months after launch and 
"Early Operations".
As far as I understand the tx-antenna will be a 2x40m dipole.

Launch is scheduled for 2017-xx-xx (Falcon Heavy launch vehicle).
