Not at that frequency for that range.
a half-wave at 25 khz would be longer than the distance to the receiver.
(thinking aloud)- let's see - 27mhz is known as '11 meters' - so 27 khz
would be 1000 times longer - or 11 kilometers so an antenna would be about
half that - or around 6 kilometers - then you would need reflectors and
directors - and would need to mount it a half-wave high for propogation.
Don't they use vlf for talking to submarines?
I would try to pick a much higher frequency for experimenting. Around 150
mhz or so would make the antenna easier to work with .
focusing a light beam is easier because the wavelength is measured in
nanometers - not kilometers.
use coax to carry the signal for 25 khz.

om...
I need to create an AM modulated carrier of 25 Khz that is highly
focused in beam width. I am aware of part 15 and will not be using
this for any other reason than for research. I need a range of 50
feet. Receiver will be a tuned resonant tank with about 90 db of gain
post detection. I would like to be able to "focus" this beam but being
in optics I have no idea of how one might control the dispersion of a
carrier like this. In other words in my field I can collimate or focus
a light beam but dealing with this wavelength I have not a clue!

Thank You in advance for your input
