PBS has a show called "Edge of Space".

If you could make it to near the end of the program (very repetitive 
about "sprite lightning"), there was a segment on ELF waves in the 
earth's resonant cavity.  Apparently the earth-ionosphere form a cavity 
that has a fundamental mode of 7.8 Hz.  It is excited by extreme 
lightning bolts.

There was a picture of the apparatus including an antenna used to 
monitor this. (actually their second antenna, the first got zapped by 
lightning). Looks like you could do this yourself.
