Technical Issues
Such low frequency transmissions require specialized, usually custom made, equipment. In countries where it is allowed, maximum radiated power is usually limited to 1 watt (0 dBW), but even this can be extremely difficult to achieve from practical equipment and antennas. Reception also poses problems due to considerable natural and man-made noise and interference (QRN and QRM).
Many users and experimenters have settled on extremely slow, computer-generated and displayed morse code as the most common transmission mode. This mode is known as QRSS, where the doubling of the S emphasises the extreme slowness. The international Q code QRS means "Please send more slowly", or "slow morse" in radio jargon.

“A technical objection is the first refuge of a scoundrel.”

“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
