  Science Fair Projects - List of masts
Radio masts for VLF, LF and MF often act directly as aerials and are therefore often insulated against ground.
For high power transmitters in the MW range, masts with lengths around half of the radiated wavelength are preferred because they focus the radiated power better to the ground than constructions with heights of quarter wavelengths, which are preferred of economical reasons for low power medium wave transmitters.
For longwave transmitters, however, the construction of masts with heights of half-wave wavelength is, because of economical reasons (and perhaps problems with the flight safety), in most cases impossible.

 Observing the Ionosphere with VLF Radio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
VLF radio waves are partially reflected and partially absorbed by the lowest region of the ionosphere (the D-layer), which begins at about 40km altitude.
The amount of scintillation is portrayed by the thickness of the signal trace, and varies constantly - slowly waxing and waning, presumably as patches of turbulent ionosphere drift across the path of the signal.
During a solar flare, the upper layers of the ionosphere are bathed in X-rays, causing extra ionisation, and thus affecting radio propagation.

Re shortwave transmitter models: The Transmitter Documentation Project list for Cuba can be found at http://www.tdp.info/cub.html Years ago somebody reported that he managed to get to the door of the transmitter hall at Bauta, and from there he saw the BBC's, the Funkwerk Köpenick's and I think also the Soviet transmitters mentioned by TDP.
I understand that the Funkwerk Köpenick and Siemens transmitters are utility units and were used for the SSB transmissions meanwhile cancelled by RHC.
In the meantime these transmitters were scrapped, and the picture reveals that the two 50 metre masts once used as antennas for the 20 and 5 kW Lorenz units are gone, too.

 Encyclopedia: VLF transmitter Skelton
The VLF transmitter Skelton is a VLF transmitter near Skelton run by Merlin Communications Ltd. in order to transmit coded orders to submarines.
It uses as aerial a 365 metre high guyed steel framwork mast, which is insulated against ground.
The VLF transmitter Skelton went in service in 2001 and is the predonator of GBR at VLF transmitter Rugby, which was shutdown on April 1st, 2003.

You get a maximum reading when the plane of the windings aims toward the transmitter and a minimum reading when it is 90 degrees away from this.
In this position, looking through the aperture of the loop you would see the antenna of the transmitter, which is presumably a rare event...
Accuracy is most important as small reading differences often result in a deviation of the calculated transmitter location of up to hundreds of kilometres.

The VLF aerial is slung between three 600ft self-supporting steel towers and anchorages built on the top of an adjacent steep hill (by comparison the VLF aerial at Rugby employs twelve 820 ft. lattice steel masts).
It is understood that Criggion's HF transmitters were taken to Ongar and Rugby radio stations after they were no longer required at Criggion.
The freestanding towers are equipped with staircases; the guyed masts have lifts, described as 'a cage with a lawnmower motor'.

The transmitter will be shipped next month and, after conversion work to double its output power and remedial work to the antenna system have taken place, we aim to have it operational by mid to late Summer 2005.
Whilst the transmitter will be owned by us, it will be operated and maintained by former engineers at the (until now) redundant site.
The used transmitter tubes, which are still very expensive, are sent to the US manufacturer, recycled, and reused.

There are plans to adopt T-DAB techniques within the HF bands for broadcasting services to improve reception, however, a number of International Telecommunication Union (ITU) World Radio Conferences have been unable to agree plans for the band and as a result many services operate outside of any internationally adopted plan.

The transmitter plugs into the top of the unit and draws power from the iPod's battery, so there are no wires to power the transmitter.
To use the iPod transmitter, you find an unused channel in the FM broadcast band, set the transmitter to that channel, and voila, you are broadcasting your music collection on the air.
(I wouldn't actually call it "broadcasting" because the transmitter's range is about 10 feet.) Living on the highest ridge in the county and smack dab in the middle of the New York-Boston metroplex, finding an unused channel on the FM band is not easy.

First off, regarding QRP and what it is. Let me propose a defintion (and if there is a better one I more than happy to hear it and let it be the one used).
QRP is the achivementof high quality two way radio transmissions through the use of simple but efficient curcuit designs for both the transmitter and receiver.

Everything needs to be bigger - the transformer, (read $$), the power line feed, fuses, caps, rectifiers, etc. Now, in a typical ham supply, this is not a serious consideration, but ask the power companies what happens to the stability of their system when customers place many chokeless power supplies on the AC lines.
Back in the WWII days, when my OM was doing radio work at the University of California War Research Lab, Point Loma, they used to use BC-221 freq meters as transceivers around amongst some of the fellers there by keying in the antenna lead.
Using low plate voltages on detectors and audio tubes usually requires that good throttle control of regeneration be had AND some means of adjusting the feedback ticklering turns is usually advantageous.

In fact, for really BIG transmitters, multiphase power is generally used (usually 6 phase) to minimize the filtering requirements.
The reason for that is that a power supply for an SSB transmitter should be a constant voltage source, not a constant current source.
Barry's other point about the choke smoothing out the load presented to the diodes is also correct and as he points out, is especially important when using tube rectifiers vs solid state diodes.

For frequencies below longwave the masts have to be electrically enlarged by coils or structures on the top, because the required heights for masts of even quarter wave length are too high.
