Cheers,
Hmm, the chart shows increasing noise as frequency falls, however the figures shown don't mean a whole lot to me. 60dBuV/m at 100kc/s. Or 1mV/m. Sounds a lot, but what does one get out of a serious LF/VLF aerial, given the usual size limitations? I mean what antenna factor can we expect at this sort of frequency?
