I think that the idea of using ELF or VLF will probably not float (Pun intended). We live near one of these antenna and it's about 1/2 - 1 mile long. Probably the idea of a float bouy with a small antenna would work. PS I'm not an RF expert so take it with a handful of salt. -- Neil Cherry http://home.att.net/~ncherry ncherry@worldnet.att.net
