Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Receiver
Arduino + ADC = ELF
You can in fact receive some extremely interesting signals between 0 Hz and the ‘railway’ frequency of 16-2/3 Hz. Using the receiver described here with an ADC module described in a separate article and some free PC software it is possible to receive and make recordings of these signals.
