I haven't measured the antenna current, I'll have to rig something up to measure that. It's probably 2 or 3 amps. The wire is about 500m but the average height is only about 4m and it is surrounded and supported by lots of trees. I expect the radiation resistance is very low. In fact I'm counting on it otherwise I'm breaking the law! > That's certainly the best way to go, using an isolating > transformer at the end of the coax.

I had some interference in the house but now that's gone. A PC monitor with touch button controls was merrily switching itself on and off all the time, now it is fine. The ADSL was complaining and resetting, now it has no problem. In a while I'll go out and see if the mud patch is steaming :) Earlier I had a tub of salt water simmering. This is fun! -- Paul Nicholson --
