Hi Alexander, LF, Yes, i assumed the Q of the coil to be very high due to the big wire that is used in it. But thus the internal C is high, so stray currents occur that increase the resistive losses.
Thank you Stefan. Good luck with the VLF experiments in the days ahead and I hope that Marcus and others manage to receive you signals. 73s Roger G3XBM -- http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/ http://www.g3
Anyway this is a new record on 9 kHz:-) Congadulations! Remember, this is well out of near reactive zone. Thus field decreases as 1/D and if you increase voltage to 20 kV then distance will be 20:1.
