Low Frequency Radio Transmission

AncientMariner
The annual Christmas Eve message will be transmitted in Morse code on December 24th at 08:00 utc (UK Time) on 17.2 kHz. Tuning up commences at about 07:30 utc.

If interested and you do not have a suitable receiver in the conventional sense, you can use the sound card in your pc and this software https://sites.google.com/site/sm6lkm/saqrx/ together with a decent length of wire.

The transmission will be screened live at  YouTube Channel.

    As much of it spread as wide as poss as far away from terra firma as possible, and away from sources of interference like power lines, VDSL lines etc.

    Over some trees is good. You have no chance of getting a resonant length at these freqs so just try and get some tens of metres out there.


    The alternative is to try a tuned loop, to get the H field rather than the E. Still needs to scoop up several square metres.
