Great stuff. I'm not picking up any whistlers with my current VLF setup. Must be time for a bigger antenna!

Wy back in my past I remember we set up an experiment in antartica with an antenna about 10 miles long connected to a high speed data tape recorder to capture the cyclotron effect of the earth (whistlers) this was in the days before video tape recorders so this system was a sort of speeded up audio recorder but played back at normal audio speed they sounded unreal.
I forget who in our physics dpt. theorised that they exisited but the experiment was better than expected.
From memory they are started from a lightning strike somewhere on earth and the earths magnetic field then turns this planet into a giant cyclotron and cycles the energy from the strike around and around
Glad you have heard it weird!!!!!!!

The accounts on your site were so impressive! Amazing recordings too, esp. the sensitivity of your gear.
Thanks for sharing this with me, Chris =)
