Hi Laurence,
deep deep in the thick forest lives a LF tranmitter with lossy vegetation
The site here is surrounded by cotton woods, birches and firs. This evening
I put out few 1/4Y radials, Yep some 550 meters in length each, but theyve
done nothing/zilch to probably override the lossyness of this site to local
flora and sometime fauna, but I had to try; Still 2-3 amps is 2-3 amps, and
I'm wondering how long it is before the beacon is heard somewhere.
How long? About the same amount of time that it takes you to install the
proper antenna for this environment - the TX loop. :) ..... Seriously,
have you considered a large loop that is routed over the top of all those
beautiful, low-loss, trees? (Low loss, at least from a loop's low-Z
standpoint)
