VLF transmit tests from a ground dipole

Encouraged by our last experiments with ground dipoles we decided to do a transmit experiment with this antenna on VLF 8.270kHz, 36km (36000m) wavelength. Thanks to  Fab LAB Trójmiasto we had a great location on the see on a cliff near the Baltic Sea in Gdynia. Our goals for this experiment were:

  • Try transmitting from a ground dipole on VLF
  • Assess the field strength near the sea
  • See if it is possible to reach greater distances with relatively simple equipment and low power.
  • Test a broadband transformer for VLF-LF-MF
