Actually, Alan, there are other ways of radiating LF and VLF, but
I'd just love to have a 50 kW station on 300 using a 195 deg
vertical radiator. Not saying how, but I'd have that thing broad
as a barn, probably almost flat from about 270 to 330.

The ground system would be a problem and you'd need at least
60 acres for a single tower, but think of the coverage.

Can somebody say "Nation's Station" for real? <ggg>
