Just connect an antenna to your computer's microphone input, and you can receive VLF (Very Low Frequency) radio signals! A sound card (or built-in sound chip) with a recording sampling rate of at least 96 kHz is recommended.
Example of using this method to receive VLF signals from Russia and Europe:
• Excellent VLF receivin...
SDR Sharp software (for Windows) to receive and record VLF (and many other) radio signals:

The easiest way to make a really good ground is to take just a four foot long copper pipe from the hardware store and hammer, don't bury it, in to the ground with 4" sticking out. The ideal length is 8 feet as any longer adds no benefit but pounding 8 feet without hitting rocks isn't possible in some soils especially the east coast above Maryland. Take steel wool and get the end of the pipe shiny, then take a piece of stripped copper wire and wrap it around the top of the pipe 10 times and solder it to the pipe if you can use a soldering gun DO NOT use flame it won't conduct. Wrap this in electrical tape to stop oxidation. Then lay that wire above the ground directly to the back of your receiver or antenna balun Makes a night and day difference clears up most noise and reveals stations that you couldn't hear.

If the dirt is too hard to pound a 4 foot copper pipe like here in the Arizona desert, you can dig a trench that's a foot or 2 deep and 6-8 feet long, line it with a bit of salt, and lay the pipe in and bury it. If it's summer and the ground is dry, keep that area of dirt wet when you want to use the ground. You can definitely use a flame to solder the pipe; it makes sbdolutely no difference how you melt the solder. Use flux for a very good solder joint and clean the copper with Emery paper before soldering. Those without the ability to do this can use their water pipe that comes in from the water meter underground.

Thank you for sharing this experience...I d/l'ed SDR # and it works very nicely with my Dell D630 laptop and about 100 feet of wire laid right on the ground and link-coupled to a coil wire wrapped around a 5 gallon bucket, coupled to the mic input jack through a couple of transformers audio transformers....works beautifully. Minimal AC hum, and I see the sub broadcast signals at 21.4 and 19.8 and 23.2 and 24.0...21.4 is the strongest here in the central coast of California ...I've had this system going now for almost 1 week and am having a blast exploring the VLF world :)

Just looked through some other 70s albums to see if they should have something similar to the signal on "Tubular Bells", and I found out that Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother" has the GBR signal as well! It's not as strong as on "Tubular Bells", but it is there about 2 minutes in on the track "Atom Heart Mother Suite".

That's great, I have a HF communications receiver that tunes from basically 1khz to 30mhz (AOR 7030) and with a metre diameter magnetic loop I can pick up 60khz and 77.5khz time stations and can sometimes hear the alpha signals but it's nowhere near as good as this method. Great vid. I'd love to try this method.

Thank you for sharing this. :) It would be interesting to check other CDs recorded in Europe to see if they too have radio transmissions piggy-backing along with the intended program. For my setup I salvaged a pair of degaussing coils from an old 32" Sony TV, arranged them in a crossed-loop and connected them to the line input on my Dell D630 laptop. Works very good. Eventually I will build an impedance matching/amplifier and it will work even better. As-is it gets lots of FSK signals at times, according to propagation conditions. A whole new world to explore. :) :)

interesting to see the range of the jim creek transmitter 50 miles north of me. it's a massive transmitter site with an insanely huge antenna array that zigzags back and forth between 2 mountain ridgetops and 12 steel towers. the array is pointed west, so if you can receive it 3k miles in the opposite direction with a skimpy antenna it must be able to broadcast all the way to southeast asia. 1.2 megawatts of power helps too.

That is very interesting! I didn't know you could do that. It's cool that you could get a signal from the other end of the country... and even Europe if you had a bigger antenna. Also, I find that with some TVs, simply having them turned off doesn't cut all the interference, you have to unplug it. My early 2000s RCA does that, a lot of newer electronics don't seem to be properly shielded.

slinky springs make great vlf anntenas, just strech it out and connect wires to either end, if your receiver only needs one wire just connect one end. i have a really small slinky sort of like a "toy" version(i know a toy of a toy, this when slid on a broom handle and held either end with tape and wires attached makes a great scanner antenna you just stretch it out for different wavelengths when the signal is strongest put the tape on the end to hold it.

I also tried with an underground microphone on a remote location. even tried with the underwater antenna. tried to get elf signal.

The Nevada Test Range @ Groom Lake has a VLF station but it does not transmit continuous. I discovered it while repairing a guitar amplifier for a friend in Las Vegas, it was being picked up by the instruments pickups and amplified. We did manage to track it down to the test range area as far as we could legally go. Sorry if you mentioned this in the past, but what camera do you use to record? I am looking to get a different one for my tech videos (my auto focus took a shit in mine).

The anti-aliasing filter certainly does get in the way. My card (okay, chip, given it's on the motherboard) can do 192kHz sampling, but everything above 20kHz is really weak.

Thank you for this very wonderful video, I think there are lots of wonderful applications that I might test on what you have shared... with range from 1hz to 48000hz, I may use a frequency generator to send signal to a particular object (resonance frequency), and using loop antenna I might be able to locate certain object vibrating through signal emitted by the frequency generator... maybe worth a try, what do you think boss?

Just a tidbit of information, at 24Khz, a 1/4 wave element is 1000 feet. So, a half wave dipole is 2000 ft long. Better get a couple of high towers to install it on. And YES, a good ground is essential. If, you can get the antenna at least 1/4 wavelength, you will receive any shortwave signal. Dennis N7TZQ

I have a vinyl America - Perspective and I noticed that at the beginning when I drop the needle there is a 23+ KHz tone immediately after the needle drop and the music starts about 3 seconds after the needle drop and the tone is continuous from beginning to end even between songs on both sides until after the last song is over and the tone disappears before the groove spirals rapidly towards the record label. I think it's from the master tape where the vinyl was cut. No idea if pressings from other countries also have this tone. My copy is an original Filipino pressings from 1984. The frequency of the tone slightly fluctuates up and down that matches the rotational speed of vinyl because the hole of vinyl is slightly off center. I can't hear the tone but I'm using an audio editor to see it. CD can't respond above 22 KHz so if your copy is a CD you're out of luck.

I can definitely see how an LCD monitor can interfere with VLF radio reception if it's a cold-cathode-backlit model, the cold cathode tubes & inverter (basically a miniaturized fluorescent lamp) can emanate all kinds of RF interference. But I'd imagine a LED-backlit LCD display would not, correct? And that's quite fascinating about "Tubular Bells"' hidden VLF transmissions of station GBR, I did not know about that! I have that album on vinyl, I wonder if that would be able to carry GBR's signal for decoding--I'd guess it'd have to be a clean, little-played (or ideally unplayed) copy, with a phono cartridge & preamp that can respond well at 16 KHz.

Great video VW! Does anyone know what studio device was actually picking up the radio signals? I had an old guitar amplifier that would randomly pick up commercial am radio at certain times of the day (probably bad input filtering, or a grounding problem) but the article I read about TB stated that they recorded the guitar & bass directly into the console. It's strange that the engineers would not have heard this as they were listening to the isolated tracks on the master tape. This must have been discovered before someone isolated it in SDR.

How low on the spectrum can you broadcast voice/music? And is the Antenna required too large or can it be done at close range with a shorter antenna?
@vwestlife
@vwestlife 3 года назад
Voice transmissions are certainly possible in the VLF range, although that's not an efficient use of the bandwidth available. Shorter antennas are possible but won't give as good of reception (or signal coverage if transmitting).

How do you actually connect the antenna to the mic input? What pin is the wire connected to? If I get a stereo lead with a minijack on the end and cut it down so I just have the two cables coming out, should I connect my antenna to that? But which core? None of the explanations of this method online address this in any great detail :(
@vwestlife
@vwestlife 5 лет назад
You connect it to the wire that goes to the tip of the plug. You may need to use a multimeter to find one which one that is. Or just try both and find out which one gives better reception.

It would be great if you showed us this with sound card as source, doing it live.
@vwestlife

***** You have to make sure your sound card supports and is correctly configured to a 96 kHz (or higher) sampling rate for recording. There should be an option in the sound card's settings somewhere. And there are other videos on RU-vid about using a sound card to receive VLF signals, they may have more detailed info.

+vwestlife Okay thanks I will play around with it, I see that when you raise the sampling rate of the sound device in SDR# it does change the scale of freq. chart. I do see the waveform dropping down a little after 24Khz but thats becuase I didnt change my sound card settings, I will play with it some more. I've been catching up on all things RF and I find this pretty interesting. I'd like to see examples of how this method can pick up communications devices would use and possibly decode it.

With this software I discovered that the realtek audio chip of my mothrerboard has a bandpass filter that filters the mic input to 20kHz no matter how high is the sampling frequency. Even with sampling rate of 192kHz, over 20 kHz or so, no signal passes through. So I'mm wondering what is supposed to be the purpose of having the capability to sample at 192kHz, if there's a fixed banpass filter at 20kHz in the input. Bah....

use another soundcard, then. this principle should even work with external usb units, I would imagine...

This is because the human ear doesn’t process or hear audio above about 18 khz, so anything above 20 khz is basically un-wanted noise in most cases. Buy an external sound card used for recording/processing music, and you should be able to sample above the 20 khz cut off

I see that you have "IQ file (*.wav)" selected as your source, instead of a SDR radio, at the top left..which means you are playing an already recorded radio audio file..I believe I am right..

@ I don't keep up with the latest updates with SDR software. The version I use is rather old because SDR# does not support Windows XP anymore.
