Dear Rik,
Many thanks again for the most useful explanation.
Some of my past career was spent in an electrical calibration lab. so I can=
not get used to the scatter of readings I get with field strength measureme=
nts - HI !My calculated value of 0.38 watts ERP was obviously an average of=
 several readings and theyranged from about 0.25 - 0.5W
Your deduction of my aerial current is interesting.My system comrises the T=
X, a step down (voltage) transformer, variometer and aerial.The whole syste=
m is tuned by means of a 'scopematch' unit and with 56W output the aerial c=
urrent, allowing for the step up current transformation is 1.8A
My next step (once it stops raining) will be to take some measurements on h=
igher ground as suggested.
Ian G4GIR (Bedford) and I have been doing some comparison tests on MF.Using=
 the G3YXM grabber we transmit simultaneously using the same RF power and t=
hen compare signals on the grabber's graphic display.Results for the two of=
 us are similar and with outputs of 56W we indicate at the -60 dB level.
Once we get an accurate measurement of our EIRP we could use that grabber a=
s a calibrated monitor.

Many thanks for the rapid replies gentlemen; they are very much appreciated=
.
Rik, thanks for the explanation of the two formulae and I've inserted that =
ERP formula into my spreadsheet now - excellent !
Alan, I take measurements in open fields to the south of Biggleswade and at=
 about 1 - 1.5 km distance from the transmitter.Noted about the advantages =
of higher ground measurement but we're fairly flat around here - HI !I'll l=
ook at the O/S map and see what I can do.

Transmitting 56 watts my ERP was calculated as being 0.38 watts which just =
seemed rather low.My aerial is a 40 m long inverted 'L' at 9m mean height w=
ith a reasonable ground system.
Making measurments of G4GIR's transmissions with his 260 watts at 16 km ret=
urned a value of 0.88 watts ERP

LF,=20

I've recently resurrected my old RF field strength meter as designed by PA0=
SE and published in the LF Experimenters' Handbook.I've modifed it to measu=
re signals in the MF band and have calibrated it with a home made Helmholtz=
 coil arrangement.
This question may have been raised before but PA0SE gives the formula for d=
eriving the transmitter power as
P =3D 0.0111 (Ed)^2=C2=A0 . . .=C2=A0=C2=A0 (1)

where E is the electrical field strength and d the distance
I've read in other places that the power from an isotropic radiator is
P =3D (Ed)^2 / 30=20

i.e.=C2=A0 0.0333 (Ed)^2=C2=A0 . . . . (2)
My calculated radiated power seems rather low so I'm wondering whether I sh=
ould be using formula (2)
Any clarification would be most welcome.
