Alan, Yes, that ties up with the signal being stronger with the E-field probe held above my head. Agreed, that lambda/2pi is around 350m, so I'm only just exiting the near field region. Tomorrow I ma
I'm just amazed that 250mW into earth electrodes 20m apart can be heard Q5 at 0.4km with a 19 inch whip handheld. Indeed. It's not all about working DX! I look forward to your progress blog. Steve /
I'd appreciate reports, but be amazed to get any until I start to run some more power into a real antenna. 73s Roger G3XBM -- http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/ http://www.g3xbm.co.uk http://www.youtube.

Hi Roger dont forget the e-field probe has a sensitivity which is related to its height not the length of the whip. If you are holding a conducting case the effective height is say 2m , at carrying h
Hi Roger Well, with a 8m wire earthed at both ends as an earth electrode antenna I can get S5/6 sigs into G3XIZ who is 3km away, using his old CW TX with an output of around 60w. No resonant coils, n
Hi Roger you may just have rejuvenated my interest :-)) previously my nearest LF neighbour was Jim, I dont remember whether Chris G3XVL was on when I last listened. Chris is in Ipswich of course. The
This is the very beginning of my journey onto 136kHz.... For anyone very very close to Burwell, Cambs, JO02DG, I'm putting a QRP 10wpm keyer-generated CW message (later to be changed to QRSS3) out on
