Wow, this is something. "Ken Cornell, (W2IMB, beacon call "K"), " your neighbor. Anyone who's
read a bit of LF lore knows of Cornell. Quite the leganary figure in the early days of LF.
His "scrapbook," a tome of his projects and times, has been a topic of discussion in the
recent past here. It isn't published anymore and word is that his heirs will not release it for
another printing. Of course it dates to the 60s and so the electronic info is more nostalgic,
but his antenna work is still, well, antenna work.
Every so often the LF journal, THE LOWDOWN, has a piece of his work, likely as filler now. But things
have gone digital now (sorry, Ken ;-) and the analog stuff is best left on the shelves and boxes.
Another List response mentions several Web sites of regulars who have established themselves
in the LF community. You'll do good to dwell a bit lookig at them. Another site to see for LF projects is
Lyle Koehler's, a noble builder. The link to it is on a good many sites.

No. I'll take a look, thanks.
Last time I worked VLF was back in late 60s or early 70s from Westfield NJ.
My neighbor, Ken Cornell, (W2IMB, beacon call "K"), got me interested. We
ran a couiple of stations & I worked around 100 miles on 189.5 (beacon call
"P").
