VLF Session 1

Well this isnt my "first vlf outing" but just the first time I am posting it. I dont have any recordings from this outing just pictures, as the timing wasnt great. What I am trying to catch on VLF is....well anything really. Latly Ive been wanting to hear "whistlers". VLF is supposed to carry a variaty of different things, earth noise, static crashes, submarines, and testing stations. This was on October 17, 2009 between 7-8pm Central Time. The band was very quiet with slight crashes and static. Nothing worth putting up just yet. The location was 40miles from the nearest town, and luckly 8miles from the nearest Powerlines. My equipment is nothing great, well my record/radio is a Zoom H2 Recorder "using it as a VLF radio". The antenna is a whip I got from a RC Airplane Control these tend to have really long whips. Next time I will go to the same area and throw out 100ft of wire to see what I can catch.

The Sunset is Gorgeous isnt it?


First Post

This is more of a "free website" than a Blog, well its both. The Title says it all, I listen to everything in the radio spectrum. More in the HF Range but anything far, wide, and anything inbetween, shortwave, scanners, VLF, and 1200Mhz, anything! This is all just my findings, postings, and what I find interesting. I might post samples of what I found, places Ive been, or set ups outdoors. If it has to do with Radio, it will be here!

With a occasional jump to audio related stuff, like recording, speakers, music. Since I am a SW Listener, I do like to listen to music, of ALL KINDS.

I have this blog/site setup so if I am no where near a computer/internet I can send Text Msg Updates to it, if there is a Signal Coming in on SW or the Ham Bands, or a VHF Skipping a long ways away, I will post it so you can get up to the minute results, assumeing you have subscribed via email or rss reader, AND Also Assuming the feed goes through quick enough.

So join me if you wish, also please dont email me or post comments "flaming me" This is all just my hobby, and I prefer to figure out my mistakes myself, or if you so feel you think I am doing somthing stupid, keep it to yourself.

Thanks!
