8.97kHz - REAL amateur VLF DX at last

As I write, the amateur transmission tests from Germany on 8.97kHz are ongoing, but it looks like the signals are being received in the north of England - a distance of many hundreds of kilometres. More in a few hours when details become clearer. If confirmed this will certainly be a new amateur record distance. The distance from Frankfurt to Todmorden is believed to be a staggering 830km  ...and this on 8.97kHz!!
