During the Cold War, American submarines operated as "lone wolves" at extreme ocean depths for many months at a time. Ordinary radio signals are greatly attenuated at such depths, making communication with the submarines difficult.

If the Seafarer transmitter broadcast at 82 Hz, what would the transmitter's quarter wavelength antenna have to be in order to receive the signal? km
