The data rate on these signals is very slow. It’s mostly good for ‘come to the surface for the rest of the message’.

We used to transmit far more detail than that over TACAMO.

Yes, the data rate is slow. The ground wave for these antennas circles the globe, though. The American version was called Big Jim and was a cable anchored between two mountain tops.
