Thanks for that info: an interesting technical analysis indeed !
Personally, here in Brentwood Essex, there has been good
reception of both Radio Minsk and the more interesting Ashkhabad
Turkmenistan on 279Khz AM this year; and I do not view with any
enthusiasm the prospect of another west-european pop-music type
broadcaster on the long wave band obliterating the DX, -
http://www.279longwave.com/coverage-map.html , so it's
interesting to read some solid theorising around the inefficiency of
Crossed Field Antennas. Sounds like the Isle of Man 279khz LF
station could be thermally really warm for staff all through the
winter, if its antenna proves as inefficient as hypothesised !
But a CFA in the back garden for 136khz, that might be
intersting :-)
