But the article title was wrong as the VLF station was still "NSS" into the 1990's-although one never heard or saw it (as the frequency, 21.4 kHz, was encrypted) except in USN documents.
Saturday I made contacts with WAR and NSS on 60m; NAF, AAC, AAZ and MARSCOMM/AFA4VF on 20m split. 59 both ways with AAC. Most stations were fairly weak but I would get a good signal report.
I copied the AFD message on CW and RTTY from NIIW. I heard NSS making contacts on CW.
I could also faintly hear NEPM on 18639/18148. I didn't even try. Too weak to copy reliably and my antenna sucks on 17m.
AFM4NPD was active on 15807. Listening on 14270. Did not hear me.
NWKJ 14.4385 listening 14.310 Too weak.
AAN 14.5505
Later in the day NSS was on 4041.5 LSB/3840. I'm no good for 75/80m either.
