Marty,  Jim Creek in Washington State used a VLF antenna
strung between two mountains.  It was the last VLF to go
except Sweden.. Marion, MA, was on 25.8 KHz running
RTTY.  I copied them in Alaska in 1957.  These frequencies
were so low that loops were the only thing that would work.
I undertand that even after WWII the British Post Office used
VLF for traffic to Europe.   I also know the Germans had
6-Meter systems all over middle Europe.
