Roger What you are using is a vertical grounded LOOP. I have made no attempt to receive DK7FC because I do not have the time to waste waiting for a 600 sec dot or longer transmission. I am QRL on all
Yes Rik, theoretically the efficiency should be independent of soil resistivity: Loss resistance ~ resistivity, radiation resistance ~ area ^2 ~ skin depth ^2 ~ resistivity. In practice the situation
I am of the opinion what some on here describe as Earth Mode antennas are BODGE antennas. Old timers cannot be fooled but it is very misleading for New comers to LF/MF G3KEV

In my view it does work as a loop antenna on 136 and 500kHz with the loop area being determined by the soil conductivity (lower conductivity, bigger loop area). The very fact that it is low-Q does su
