[Lowfer] Beacon,

Joe,

          I think this would be fantastic!
I think an interesting experiment would be a vlf beacon (below 9kHz) with an antenna that is 1000s of feet long, the efficiency would be pretty decent and some interesting distances could be covered.

Hello all,

I wonder,  and what do you all think?

I'm one of the original guys that do these high altitude balloon 
flights.  Ya know 100,000 feet and higher even..

What would anyone think if we did a beacon flight at night time of 
course,  and probably winter too to make it quiet.

But what does anyone think propagation would be like when an antenna 
could finally get many many wavelengths above the ground  Like at 
100,000 feet?
