[Elecraft] OT: Receiver or converter for VLF reception?

[Jim Lowman]

Wayne has stated that, even with the new synthesizer board(s), receiver 
sensitivity drops off as we go lower in frequency.

If any of you are receiving the VHF portion of the spectrum, what type 
of receiver or receiving converter are you using?

That is, short of a $3,000+ communications-grade receiver?

Thanks for any advice and 73 de Jim - AD6CW
