Many thanks to Domenico and to everyone else who responded to his post.
Well I guessed that sooner or later someone would find out ;-) Normally I'm not the type who would crave for this kind of publicity. And I have to say that such an award shouldn't be regarded as a solitary achievement, but rather also as an appreciation of the fine people and bright minds I am allowed to work with.
Like for many engineers who are also radio amateurs, work and play have never been completely separate aspects of my life. Inspiration tends to flow both ways between the two. This seems to be particularly true for those engaged in low frequency work. So let me take this opportunity to say thanks to the LF group, for continuous exchange of worthy challenges, exciting ideas, and inspiring collaborations!
Congratulations, Markus.
Many of us have found it rewarding to rediscover, and bring back into prominence, knowledge and techniques which had disappeared from professional publications. When the idea of an LF band for UK radio amateurs was first suggested, I spent an afternoon in the BTRL library looking such things up but discovered very little material about LF from a professional point of view. There was not even a copy of Watt. The most interesting thing was an ITU listing of ship stations (mostly Turkish) registered as using 147kHz.
