Hi VLF

Congratulations Dimitris :-)

Anybody mentioned an activity rush in VLF ? I'm working on this right now

Hi Dimitris,

My congrats! That is a good success and progress!

Can you tell more details?
How much power was used?
How much antenna current?
Was it the 3 turn loop?
What type of receiver was used on the RX site?
Is that site in a quiet location?
Which bandwidth or mode?
Was it actually QRSS-10 (Which i would watch in 122 mHz)?
What was the SNR?
Is there a screenshot for us to see?
What is your plan for today? :-)
Who is the next distant station?

This could be the beginning of a growing worldwide VLF activity, if you
can 'mobilise' a team of stations who build up RX and TX systems arround
VK.

73, Stefan
