LF: Re: Question about ground impedance at 8.97 KHZ

["James Moritz" <james.moritz@btopenworld.com>]

Dear Stefan, LF Group,


...>300 Ohm earth+surroundings losses is very good compared to my values on 
the hill, although i have just one small tree in a radius of >100m. What 
about your ground conductivity?....>
The ground here is clay, with a high water content, so conductivity is 
probably high. The earth system was 4 - 6, 1m long, ground rods, spaced a 
few metres around the feed point.
...>Will you prepare a TX system on the dreamers band as well? Than we could 
repeat our CW QSO just like on 137kHz ;-)...>
Based on the experience of the last few weeks, in order to achieve anything 
more than very short range communication, it will be neccessary for me to 
use the /P site I have used for the receive tests for transmission also. 
This requires some diplomacy with the owner of the site, who is one of my 
relations. I am working on it...
Cheers, Jim Moritz
