>> Hi Gang,
>>
>> With so much being discussed about VLF, I would like to tell about
>> my experience with NSS on 16 Kc back shortly after WW2 way down
>> in South Atlantic near southern tip of Brazil.
>> At night, NSS was roaring in on 16 kc clear as a bell! while 500 Kc
>> was "roaring" with atmospherics and none but the nearest ships could
>> be heard.
>> General radio propagation back then was overall excellent but about
>> 1962 propagation began to become erratic on 80 and 75 hamming.
>> I was not active on the other bands.
>> It has not been the same as it was before about 1962.
>> FWIW & good luck,
