I'm delighted that my theory of photon absorbing ground has been partially debunked by Stefan's observations. Is the tree supporting the loop a pine by chance, Stefan? Spruce trees seem good at VLF and we are all familiar with the properties of the hawthorn from Roelof's poineering work. Thanks again Roelof. The TX will remain on tonight. 477.7 kHz 10 watts, QRSS10. Regarding VLF, it seems I can still run farther than I can send a VLF signal. At the moment, one of the pie coils spits sparks and has to be rewound; the quest for a long piece of 0.4 mm wire continues. I hope that Stefan's experiments with the cores will make it possible to get 0.5 H with < 2km of wire. 73 & GL Joe VO1NA
