Thanks for the info, flynerd!
I'll redo my calculations next week... we have friends for lunch this Sunday.

My figures were based on a near overflight in the main lobe, at aout 15 km range...

AN AMERICAN VLF TRANSMITTER SITE...OR WAS IT?
Thanks to you, too
I absolutely love those conspiracy theories

Have you noticed how often you can just deduct from the mere style of the article, or post, or whatever, that the author is telling porkies?
Much like the intonation of the opening sentence of a telemarketer....
