Wet ground is lossy, ice is an insulator, antenna current is mainly determined by Rloss ?? If you measure the unloaded antenna with a bridge, you will measure values for C and Rtotal. Rtotal include
Christian, LF "Ice is an insulator" If this is true it also means that all lossy trees in the surrounding may have turned into nearly insulators. Unless there is ice or frost on my antenna and insula
The apparent contradiction (why is higher impedance better?) is easy to understand if you look at surrounding trees as capacitively coupled shunt resistors. The loss contribution At the antenna can b
