Thank you for mentioning this - it was not on my RADAR - now noted, and perhaps I'll create a node in my area (not much "need" as there is very little lighting - we're blessed).

In a somewhat similar (Geeky) vein, here's a similar project for Amateur Radio Operators called WSPRnet

http://wsprnet.org/drupal/wsprnet/map

Weak Signal Propagation Reporter (WSPR) is a mode that allows very, very low power transmitters (can be as simple as piece of wire coming off a GPIO pin on a Raspberry Pi) to be heard around the world via this network of receivers. Radio is amazing.

Yes. Definitely.

On my (much too long) list of useless projects there is a VLF receiver. I would like to see the Schumann resonances in data I acquired myself. Nothing is more convincing to a physics major :-)
