I'm looking for a source of ferrite rods around an inch to two inches
thick, and about 12 to 24 inches long, composed of a VLF ferrite.

The application is for M-field antennas to receive WWVB (60 KHz) for
synchronizing spread-spectrum transmitters and receivers.  I'm also
gonna try them for LORAN use at 100 KHz.

Amidon is out of stock and does not plan to make any more for a few
months, as this size and composition rod seems to be a real low-yield
product - apparently a large percentage of them warp in manufacture.

Any other suppliers?
