You are only off by a factor of about a million. The ultra low frequency
Cutter array transmits around 45 HERTZ but as long as a sub's antenna is
less than about 60' below the surface it can receive the signal. I wonder
what the bit rate is. I don't see how they can transmit more than 2 or 3
characters a second.
My neighbors accused me of trying to receive those signals when I hung up a
160 meter delta loop around the yard but it is only 529 feet around. 45 Hz
requires 22,000 feet. They really would get upset about that! :-)
