I remember seeing an article on an antenna for working at 21kHz. It was
about 5 miles long, and they decided to lay it across the ice in Antarctica.
I cannot remember what it was being used for, it may have been research into
radio waves received from deep space or something similar, but I remember
thinking at the time that ice was probably as good an insulation material
they were going to find to support it without heaps of lamp post type poles
for miles.


There is also a time standard transmitter at Rugby in the UK. I am pretty
sure it also works at 60kHz. You can see an aerial farm when driving up the
M1 motorway (freeway to you Americans) that looks very similar to what has
already been described. I believe there is another similar transmitter in
Europe, I think Germany.
