On air measurements and >reports are identical, regardless of what theory dictates. Am I going to have to send you a loading coil made from #12 copper and and another with identical dimentions from #12 Litz to prove to you there is a 2x reduction in Rac? Assume you have a way to make these measurements? Using on-air measurements as a way to measure a change less than 3db is not a sound approach, especially if the A/B change can't be accomplished by simply flipping a switch. This change in fact could be under 2db due to the additional series resistance in the circuit added by soil loss.
