[Lowfer] 15.1 kHz VLF

[Clive S Carver]

Hi Todd

If you have a look at Peter's aerial azimuth diagram
http://df3lp.de/azimuth-map_tx.png may explain why 15.1 KHz is weak in Kiel.
It is certainly a massive signal.

I took a look at some different WWLLN remote VLF  receivers and the signal 
does
seem strong in Europe. It is fairly strong in  Sheffield, UK. Appears good 
in Tel Aviv,
Israel and also in Finland. Many of  the receivers appear to be offline so 
I wasn't 
able to check as many  locations as I wanted to.

The signal looks strong in Boston, MA. It is  visible in Seattle, WA but 
not nearly as
strong there.  Of course it is  strong at my own receiver in SE USA at S-9 
+10dB.

If the signal has been  on all day then it is likely not airborne but land 
based, but who
really  knows how long the airborne signal could be maintained with mid-air 
 refueling?

If France is testing a signal on 15.1 it is packing a wallop  across the 
Atlantic.

Still doesn't make sense that it would be fairly  weak in Kiel, Germany, if 
it was based in France?
Right now I am hearing  France 20.9 only about an S-3.
