New Amateur VLF Transatlantic Record

[VA3KOT John]

Before I left the UK in 1981 I lived in a small town called Rugby (where the game with the same name originated). Rugby was home to the Rugby Radio Station, a VLF transmitter that was used to send messages to Royal Navy submarines anywhere in the world. The station had twelve towers, each 820ft tall to support the antenna wires and transmitted on a frequency of 16KHz using callsign GBR. A full description is at:
