Hello LFer's,

Thanks to all who responded to my query about a well casing being a suitable ground for a 136 kHz. Marconi antenna. Measurement seems to be the definative answer to whether or not it will work. I don't plan on transmitting just yet, as I'm only a newby on the LF scene and want to see what winter will bring receiving-wise before I even think about producing RF. Perhaps a loop transmit antenna would be more effective given my poor soil conditions here. Thanks again!
