Interesting, comments on the K1EL converter and its use with the Flex
radios.
A question for those who have listened on the VLF bands. Is there much
in the way of activity there, other than beacons? I know that these
frequencies are used in Europe for commercial broadcasting, but are
these signals receivable in North America other than in coastal areas?
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
Terry

Zack,
I certainly wish I had known about the K1EL a few years ago when I
first applied for membership in the "MF Experimental Group." I had
one of the first Flex5000As and I thought that with a resource like
that plus virtually unlimited space for an antenna that I would be
able to make a contribution to this effort. And I hurriedly put up a
1,500 ft. beverage and assembled a 12 ft. dia. loop as well. As is
indicated in the review you mention, I slowly and painfully learned
about things like lack of sensitivity at low frequencies of the 5000A
and what broadcast band images were along with the nature of filters
and a lot of other "stuff" as well! I had put together K1ELs keyer
but somehow had managed to miss the existence of his converter! I do
hope that your posting will save a lot of fellows the pain I went
through since 500 kHz surely isn't anything like 80 meters!
