John A. says:
Last winter, when I ran the 50ft perimeter loop, I found that laying out
several 40
foot strips of chicken wire made no difference on the impedance bridge
readings. That antenna was 15 meters in circumference, done with a cage of
four #8 wires spaced about 10 cm on centers.
Do you know what the resistive component of that bridge measurement was? I
should be able calculate the Rac for those conductors based on skin effect
and proximity effect. Also, what was the height above ground for this loop?
Thanks,
Bill A
