I've been a VLF fellow since the 60's when I got my first ARN6, knew nothing about it, was amazed to find out it ran with 28 volt filament and 28 volt plate power.  I tuned it with the red nut starter from a Heathkit.  Prophetic, that just a few years later, I would be working on them as the Navy still had them in inventory and use, S2F's I think.

National Radio Club, the group dedicated to BC Band DXing, has a ton of info on antennas, phasing units, operating techniques that are directly useable with VLF operations. I included the link here to their antenna publications, but be sure to wander around the site to get all the info you might find useful...or not.
