The modulation of the VLF signal was connected with a powerful atmospheric front and changes of the precipitation level. VLF data showed day and night changes and also significant changes between dry and rainy periods when water from the surface reached the cave chamber through about 30 m of limestone roof. During VLF monitoring we did not receive earthquake precursor signals. VLF monitoring in a karst cave could be an option for future research in understanding pre-seismic and other anomalies. On-line connection with other VLF surface or cave monitoring sites in Europe is necessary in future VLF registration. Results of preliminary VLF monitoring showed Črna Jama to be a suitable place for future studies.<br /><strong>Key words:</strong> VLF radio signals, noise sounds, pre-seismic anomalies, Črna Jama, Slovenia.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Acta Carsologica}, author={Kachalin, Igor and Liashchuk, Oleksandr and Šebela, Stanka}, year={2017}, month={Jul.} }
