I've only dabbled, but, yeah, the spectrum is as full there, as anywhere 
else, but, like anywhere else, things have dropped off over the years. 
Heard one station from Nevada, France I think, wasn't trying, just 
noticed it was there.  Iceland comes to mind, as well.

If interested, I can forward some links to forums where LF, VLF, ULF 
things are discussed.  A lot of chatter about some signals below 2Hz 
right now.  Not radio broadcast, but there's stuff down to mHz, 
milli-Hertz, where it can take hours, days, weeks, even years, for one 
wavelength to pass.  The longest I have looked, is a week.

Back when LW broadcasts were more common, many radios had that band, 
like MW, SW, or FM.  There are still personal transmitters out there 
that operate in that range, so people can do their own broadcasts from a 
computer, or MP3 player, to their household radio.  I recently picked a 
unit up.
