Cutler, Maine operated (and may still operate) on 17.8 kc.

"Transmitter

Cutler Naval Station has a transmission power of 1800 kW, making it to one of the most powerful VLF-transmitters in the world. The transmission consists of a continuous encrypted FSK (F1B) signal at 200 baud.[2] The transmitter operates on 24.0 kHz. In the past it operated on 17.8 kHz. The callsign of the station is NAA."


Station NSS in Annapolis operated on 21.4 kc as I understand it, but other Navy VLF stations may well have operated just below 15 kc.
