Rick,

My HAM friends tell me you are looking for a Very Low Frequency (VLF 3KHz - 30KHz) set up like the military uses, and the good news is that you can DIY one fairly easily. (So they said.). I believe that this frequency gets some 20 meters of penetration, but that's just a ballpark rumor I have.

I haven't built one, but I'm connected to some hams in Napa and Washington state and would be happy to get you some contact information if you're interested in talking to them. They will have the math at their fingertips to tell you what your power and range requirements will work out to. They'd also know how to avoid stepping on any legal and military toes.

http://www.radio-flier.com/diy_corner.html - you'll find VLF for an example receiver. I would advise google/shopping around for more information.

I'd bet the HAMming community would be happy to help someone building a PSUB. It just seems like the hard-science, unique kind of projects they enjoy.

Has anyone figured out how to establish a radio/video link with a surface vessel?

My somewhat non-tech mind is thinking of a hard-wired connection with the antenna attached to a diver's float.

How far from the transmitter can you run an antenna?

I have offers from the Canadian Coast Guard to act as standby divers but I'd like to give them a play-by-play on her maiden voyage.
