I wonder how this can have worked; according to my understanding VLF transmission for underwater reception needs very much power.
Did they bring really a powerful generator in the plane?

- cynwoody 13y agoAccording to the Wikipedia†, the aircraft in question had a 200 kw transmitter, but the article is a bit vague about VLF in particular. The idea, of course, was that while, hopefully, the ground stations would get the message out, there was that airplane you couldn't count on knocking out in a first strike. †http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TACAMO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TACAMO
