I maintain that it's the lack of a cheap RF front end that is the
sticky point.
Then you have misunderstood how little you actually need.
I should clarify - "cheap *off-the-shelf* catalog RF front end"
In my old codger-ness with limited free time, I'm just not wild about
wiring up circuits from scratch. And, I like to see other people
duplicate what I've done, so I've tended to move towards "I can buy that
widget for $20-100" kinds of things.
Hence my 4 channel RTL-SDR+beagle phased array.
I'm going to bet that the 8 bit RTL-SDR isn't going to work on 60kHz.
Probably not - Even the Funcube dongle down that low doesn't pick up
MSF from here in the UK, and at 66kHz I get BBC Radio 4 (198/3=66..)
However, my main SDR PC has a 192kHz soundcard. Feed that with my
LF active antenna, and MSF, DCF, amongst others come booming in.
Don't discount an active antenna plus a soundcard or ADC that will
sample 192kHz
