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. One way
suggested to communicate with the submarines was a program the Navy called Seafarer that used extremely low frequency
waves. 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?
