Most interesting,
Tell us more how you did it.

Many SDR users in Northern Scandinavia are up day and night listening on
submarine traffic on VLF.
I use a square-loop antenna, roughly 1.5M in diameter. I have roughly 80M of
22ga wire wound onto it.
This feeds a Behringer Mini-Mic 800 microphone preamplifier, which is then
fed into a 96KHz sound
card--no USRP required.
The software I wrote for this I call SIDsuite. It's available via GitHub:
https://github.com/patchvonbraun/SIDSuite
It works by measuring the received signal stength for various VLF
transmitters--most of them are indeed
submarine communications systems. The signal strength follows a diurnal
pattern involving solar
radiation and the D and E layers of the ionosphere. When there are strong
solar X-ray events, that
pattern is disturbed--sometimes spectacularly.
