Hi Mal

tyres today are filled with a bit of carbon which reduces the static build up

and shock when leaving the car . I never measured the resistance and it doesnt have

to be high to allow for bleed off. However, I suspect they dont work well as a LF base

Hi All

I have a trailer mounted telescopic lattice mast that might be useful for LF work. The trailer has two wheels with pneumatic tyres insulating it from the ground. I thought I might load this mast with a suitable loading coil in series for 137 khz but because of the high voltages the tyres might catch fire. Has anyone tried this before.
