Abstract
A system for an antenna for very low frequency communication includes a surface platform that is configured to move on a surface or to be stationary on the surface, a first conductive cable having a first end coupled to the surface platform, wherein the first conductive cable is electrically conductive, and an aerial platform coupled to a second end of the first conductive cable, wherein the aerial platform comprises an electrically conductive portion electrically coupled to the first conductive cable, wherein for a moving surface platform the aerial platform is towed and has an elevation above the surface, and wherein for a stationary surface platform the aerial platform flies an orbital path above the surface platform.
