At this station, there is one transmission line that runs in front of the house and another about 1 km to the south that runs roughly perpendicular to it so the mains earth grid is a bit sparse. When doing mobile FS measurements, I noticed that the signals were always stronger near the mains lines and suspected for a while that the signals were being conducted along the lines rather than being radiated. This was put to rest when Alan copied the sigs 2 years ago. Thanks to G3AQC and Hartmut for the signal reports. 73 Joe
