OT -- Ham radio operators contribute to protecting the Earth

I thought some other ham operators might like to read how they are helping
to build a protective bubble around the Earth.

Perhaps you are confusing VLF with VHF? The article talks about VLF
transmissions. VLF is 3-30 Khz. There are no ham bands in that range.

No confusion — I just thought it was interesting and thought others would be interested.

In reply to this post by Phil Hystad-3

That's true...VLF! Those of us who served on ballistic missile submarines were part of the motivation for those megawatt-output coast stations around 15 kHz.

But let's not forget all the localized radiation on VLF coming from hundreds of millions of TVs with horizontal sweep tubes and power transistors from pre-21st century non-HD TV sets. It all adds up...with nary a ham station part of it. :-)
