Yes!

I removed the cases from some old VLF-crystals (got from ancient VLF-TX). Driving them with approx. 100 mW (those "bending" vibrators could handle that easily) I reached approx. 5 metres at 16.4, 17.2 and 20.8 kHz. Sending Morse code at normal speed was impossible due to > 0.5 sec. of relaxation time.

BTW: the range of the acoustic emission was at least twice of that :)

73 & Happy Easter,
Peter, df3lp
