The monster antenna is in fact a copy of the Goliath. 1200 ft tall, with a top capacitance rumored to be somewhere around 0.05 uFd (?). It is presently grounded for obvious reasons and, although we could unground it, we are afraid that none of the equipment we own, and could connect to that antenna, could possibly survive any kind of static charge. (in fact we could ourselves get fried quite easily...) Hence we have decided to leave that vertical stick alone, and connect ourselves instead to a couple of Marconis ("T") that were originally cut to resonate around 134 kHz. They terminate in small rooms, with electrical power available. These Marcoonis are quite impresssive, and we shall use them, among other things, to try and determine the relative gain, and noise floor, of an e-field probe versus a "T" against a known source, for instance a local Medium Wave (known here as "AM") transmitter on 1500 kHz . 73 Andre'
