Re: VLF: GOTA

Stefan, with greatest respect, none of my radio activities are illegal. They don't need to be. It's illegal in the UK to use ANY public or other supply, motorway, railway and other utility infrastructure for connecting to unknown radio equipment. It must be the same in Germany too. That's in the 'small print'. Modern digital signalling is often very susceptible to RF interference. 

 If it's on private land, the permission of that land owner must first be granted.

It's all common sense -would you like anyone to creep into your back yard and erect an antenna without your permission??

This sort of activity damages Amateur and experimental radio. NOV licences can be obtained, if you think you need to do special or unusual radio researches.

I bet you dare not ask your local authority if you can use public road guide rails for transmitting antennas -if you have, and they granted full permission, then you have made a real advancement in radio. Ask your Radio Society what they think about this. 

I am not trying to be difficult, but you risk your radio licence and also risk jail if things go badly wrong on a public highway or railway due to illicit use in this way, and also the reputation of other Radio Amateurs. You also 'put yourself 'in the frame' if an accident occurs that you did not cause -someone has to 'carry the can', and it could be you if a camera 'spotted'  you. The 'utilities' display trespass notices, which if you ignore, makes it extremely easy for them to say "See you in court!!".

With very kind regards, David Hine

Ooh you seem to be one of the experts when it comes to 'Do not' and 'forbidden'. Do you at least know why your (whole?) life is controlled by fears? Posttraumatic symptoms of a very dictatorial, violent childhood? I hope you worked that out.
Try to lead yourselfe by ideas and visions, by 'want to' or 'would like to', not by fear and 'must not', 'have to', 'should' and 'should not'.

Also i clearly see you didn't follow the recent successes with guide-rail antennas on VLF and ULF, probably because you're tyrelessly working on your 'Tesla' TX antenna:

I will also set up a broadcast (AM Modulated) signal in the Long Wave broadcasting band (LF), using it to transmit music as a testing programme.

When it's all up and running on VLF / LF, I will put out various test signals using it, and join in the VLF 'fun'.

That's almost a year ago. Now, where is the signal? W H E R E ?? Let's compare which antenna works better. The grabbers are watching.

Do not be tempted to use railway lines, motorway barriers, fences etc. for connection to radio transmitters. This is strictly forbidden, and 

if caught, you could end up in jail plus a huge fine. These structures all make rubbish antennas for VLF, so will never perform well, as 

the losses are extremely high, and so will never radiate a useful VLF signal. Never be tempted use any public 'infrastructure' as an 

antenna -it just does not work, and will be a waste of effort.

Hi VLF,

You probably know:

IOTA - Islands On The Air

SOTA - Summits On The Air

but did you know

GOTA - Guide-rails On The Air ??!!

The year 2019 should be the year of GOTA! Try it out. You can do it! No

excuses like problems with the large coils, the high voltages, the XYL

occupying the garden. Just go out, take a walk, and see what you can do

with some wire and a transmitter and some other equipment! :-)
