OK Mal, but from the Rx point of view a strong signal is not important so long as it is enough to overcome reciever noise surely? It seems to me that what is important is sig/noise ratio and this depends not so much on the capture area but more on the elevation angle,directivity etc. I also have experimented over the years and am constantly amazed at what there is to be discovered,not the least on LF where many things are different especially the effects of ground.Anyway my remarks were not meant to be critical,they were intended to be constructive and I hope you have not taken offence.73s Laurie.
