[Elecraft] K3 on VLF

[drewko]

I've heard a number of beacons on 600m. YWA, in Petawawa Ontario is
usually pretty strong here, 500 miles away. Plus lots of NAVTEX
stations on 518 KHz-- typically clean copy of New Orleans, 1200 miles
away. 

I'm using my main transmit antenna, a 100 ft wire. The ATU is in LCSet
mode, the elements tuned to CA=0.0 (min), L=17.35 (max). 

73,
