Hi Steve

I mentioned the possibility or getting some gear from switched off NDBs in a previous thread but I don't think that one would fit in my back yard! Have any of the VK3 clubs shown an interest?

The loading coils and variometers from these installations should also be of interest to hams experimenting on the LF bands.

Pity we are so far away from Sweden, it would be unlikely anyone could hear the Alexanderson in this country.

Will listen out for the stations on 80/40/20 though.
