[MilCom] TACAMO VLF Freqs..

[SCOTT BAUER]

  Hi Greg, Thank you very much. I used to be a VLF junky. At one time
I was repairing and re-furbishing R390, R390-A &  the famous R389 VLF.
I plan to get back on VLF this fall thanks to a neighbor allowing me 
to use his 5 acre lot to build a nice vlf quad antenna. I am looking
for a decent receiver now. Wish I still had that R-389. You could hear
a pin drop with it. If you might know some good freqs, I would love to
know.  Thanks again,  Scott
