Many years ago, I worked with a rather strange psychology professor who was doing VLF 
propgation research as part of a project to learn the best ways to teach science to kids.

One of his many projects (which was intiated after I left his employ) was to convert the 
R-23/ARC-5 and the BC-453 to tune to one of the Navy VLF stations around 22.6 kHz.

This involved very extensive modifications, and essentially destroyed the receiver for any 
other purpose.

I would NOT advise this sort of destruction to those receivers, even severely hacked ones.
