How could you consider this as an experiment, the outcome is obvious, a big
signal from a commercial antenna installation. This is not amateur radio
experimentation on LF.
By all means have a fun day out but dont try and justify this as any sort of
achievement on LF.
Time spent on improving one's own installation would be more appropriate.
And as a matter of fact I have connections on commercial sites with similar
antennas and would not even think about it. What credit could I claim for a
a signal on 73/136 khz swamping the band at hundreds of DB's over S9
I can span the Atlantic with my home antenna installation and home built
transmitter on 136 khz.
I wonder what next is about to hit the LF scene!!!!!
