Mike Tuggle in Hawaii has a separate crystal set he's built just for LF reception, adding a single jfet transistor as a BFO in order to demodulate the CW beacons. He's on ndblist, and does hear LF TP signals. Here's a paste of a recent ndblist report he made--Samoa is on his list. He's reported many other TP's, such as during the summer when TP reception is better than at present. Steve
