Hi Mike; On a related note, I listen to VLF from time to time when camping out in Anza Borrego and Joshua Tree - mostly for natural sounds like "tweeks", "whistlers", and "sferics". As Jim mentioned it can be a bit boring so what I do is keep my receiver and headphones next to my cot before going to sleep. I set an alarm for 4am so that I can slip on the headphones and turn on the radio. Then I just listen for an hour or two before getting out of my sleeping bag and starting the day - works great! (very early morning seems to be the best time to listen out here)
Here's a good resource for natural VLF listening (this guy makes the radio that I use): http://www.auroralchorus.com/ Best Regards, Art On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 12:41 PM, Jim Wooddell <[email protected]> wrote: > Mike, > > I do from time to time.
