LF,
 
Acting on advice I have installed a whip aerial (probe) on top= of a mast at the boundary of my property.
This is in order to monitor my VLF transmissions and to provide a ref= erence level for any system improvements.
 
I noticed that the probe's pick-up voltage is directly proportional= to my PA's supply current.
Assuming that the PA efficiency doesn't change drastically with curre= nt then would I be correct in assuming that the probe's voltage is dire= ctly proportional to the radiated power?
 
I was expecting a square law relationship . .
