Hi Mal,

> Hire a helicopter for an hour or so to support the antenna at several hundred= feet high, move the helicopter up and down for resonance !!

I like it!

Or think big: fasten a wire between your gar= den and a geostationary satellite. A remotely-controlled Tx in the middle drives it= as a dipole. Theoretical resonance at about 4Hz, actually a little lower as you would be using the Earth as a top hat ...
