It was called ELF (Extremely Low Frequency). Yes, lots of power but the
antennas were so short compared to a wavelength at the frequencies used,
and therefore pretty lossy, the ERP was about 4 Watts. But, it worked
splendidly. They pulled the plug on ELF a few months ago and are
dismantling it all...I used to work there in the 1990s and it was a very
interesting setup. How many people worldwide can say they have ELF
experience?
