[Elecraft] K3 Below 500 KHz RX Antenna

2015-07-19 Thread Robert Tucker via Elecraft
 phil, K7PEH, asked:

 What is the cheapest easiest although effective RX antenna for
 listening to whatever below 500 KHz with a K3...


For what it's worth, I use an ordinary HF inverted L with a Jackson Harbor LF 
Converter to receive the VLF signals from the stateside submarine 
communications stations at 24.0, 24.8 and 25.2kHz, WWVB at 60kHz, and dozens of 
NDB stations from all over the US up to 400kHz or so, with a variety of 
receivers including an FT817 and a KX3.

 I like the idea of potting connectors on cables... It looks as if sugru will 
 do a good job of this... Have people here tried this?  Did it work well?


Sugru has worked very well for me in a number of instances, the latest being in 
sealing (in effect, potting) a coax connection associated with my loop antenna. 
See k5td.com/Loop_Antenna.html for details.
