I have  never had a receiver to access VLF. Anybody have any suggestions 
on  inexpensive converters for HF receivers such as the  R-390A?




Palomar makes a converter which shifts the 0-500 KHz band up to 4.0-4.5  MHz. 
 I got one and used it with my R-390A.  It worked well, but I  quickly lost 
interest in tuning the VLF bands.  Costs a bit more than $100,  so it's a LOT 
less expensive than a R-389.
