A couple of stations in South Devon, G3WCB and G4IUG are doing some tests with sub-10kHz transmissions with earth-electrodes. They can use high power and GPS lock. So far they have covered 1km with Hellschreiber. They can cover far further. It would not surprise me if they were spotted by Paul Nicholson in Yorkshire as long as they can send a long stable signal that can be integrated. This may need days of integration.

ReplyDeleteDo they have a valid NoV for this - I doubt it - 8.27 is not a free-access band in the UK.
If earth mode I think you will find OFCOM are not interested.
ReplyDeleteOFCOM only seem interested if billions of pounds involved. In my personal experience they were not that knowledge able.
ReplyDeleteBelow 10kHz I reckon serious experimenters know FAR more than most at OFCOM ever will about RF.
