Has anyone stateside actually *heard* it????   I have
tried, but no luck.
                                                                              
                                                        I was wondering the 
same thing. I don't know of anyone stateside who has ever claimed hearing it. 
They picked a terrible time of the year for a VLF transmission. In the middle 
of horrendous summertime static that eats up any worthwhile VLF reception. You 
can count on probably 60 over S9 static levels at that frequency. I'm not sure 
of their power level either? I was able to hear Rugby GBR on 16 KHz many 
years ago when they were still on the air but that was during wintertime when 
noise levels were low. GBR was not a very strong signal at that time either. 73
