Here are some sites where natural Radio and VLF enthusiasts hang out.
Radio Waves Below 22 Hz.This site, started and maintained by Renato Romero, IK1QFK, is the place to find in-depth research and technical information on Natural Radio and VLF topics. There are many in-depth technical articles on equipment and reception techniques, as well as reports on various signals and other interesting topics. |
SolarHam.netThis site by Kevin, VE3EN, has loads of data relating to the current sunspot cycle. It has an amazing amount of Real-Time and archived data, a message board, and 6-meter propagation data. If you want to learn what’s happening on the Sun, this is the place. |
University of Iowa Radio & Plasma Wave GroupThe Radio and Plasma Wave Research Group at the University of Iowa Department of Physics and Astronomy is led by Professor Donald Gurnett. They are one of several space physics research groups in the department with a heritage that includes the very first successful U.S. orbital space launch of Explorer 1 in 1958, carrying Professor Van Allen’s cosmic ray experiment. This group is responsible for the first recordings of Chorus from inside the Van Allen Belts by NASA’s Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP). The RBSP EMFISIS Waves Instrument Science Team is based within this group. |
INSPIREThe INSPIRE Project, Inc. is a nonprofit scientific and educational corporation whose objective is to bring high school students the excitement of observing natural and manmade radio waves in the audio region. |
Longwave Club of America (LWCA)The Longwave Club of America was organized in January 1974 to promote monitoring and experimentation on frequencies below the AM broadcast band. Such activities have come to include hearing and identifying navigational beacons, recording and analyzing natural radio emissions at very low frequencies, transmitting under low power rules in the 1750-meter band, and later on other frequencies where such ‘Part 15’ activity is also permitted. |
