Hi Dave,

You're absolutely right about experimenting. If hams hadn't done that in
the past we wouldn't have discovered the propagaton possibilities on HF
(when we were banned above 100m in the 20's), still using AM etc...

I just wanted to point out that one shouldn't expect too much from the
radiation qualities of the loading coil. It makes sense to me that you keep
the loading coil away from any objects that might absorb the magnetic field
and - if that is not possible - shield the coil from this objects.
