What kind of soil do you have? Also, what type of ground screen do you have
under the antenna? The Lowfer guys in this area (eastern US) experience the
opposite effect. In other words, as the ground dries out we see improved

antenna current. Soil is fairly sandy and I'm thinking this is the reason.

IMHO ground loss itself and enviroment loss yelds opposite effects.
Whan it is rain ground loss became less while enviroment loss (by trees
mainly) became more. Thus current improved when trees but not ground
dries... Is it much trees arround Your antenna, Bill?
