VLF ATU
img2013/4k vlfatu.gif Take the output from the emitter of T1 in the 100 - 600 kHz Converter, via a 100 nF capacitor. Add 33 mH in series with L3 to tune down to 15 kHz. This works well with a short antenna.
 
ULTRASONIC
Use an inexpensive 40kHz transducer to the antenna input to detect high frequency sound from gas leaks, bearings running dry or bats - attract them by throwing a tennis ball high into the air at dusk.
