With increasing summer QRN I'm less QRV (except for early morning skeds
on weekends) and more outside for new LF antenna tests.  Regarding these
tests I've two questions.

1. I would like to try an inverted "cloth hanger" antenna as an
alternative to the classic T-antenna (mechanical advantage!) Has
somebody already experience with a LF antenna of this kind?

2. I have the means to measure the fieldstrenght (V/m) close to my
antenna (up to 100m away). Is there a reliable method to calculate the
ERP from the fieldstrenght?
