Dear Paul and Jay,
this is an excellent result, well done!
The crossover between reactive nearfield (E
~ r^-3) and farfield (r^-1) occurs at lambda/2/pi = 5.3 km. As
you seem to have quite a bit of margin there, your signal will be
detectable very significantly beyond that. Assuming otherwise equal
receive conditions, QRSS-120 should get you more than 6 times further than
QRSS-3.
Best wishes,
Markus (DF6NM)

Paul,
Great
work! Nice looking coil! How much power can you crank through
it?
At 5kM, I believe that you are still in the near field
(9kHz
wavelength is 33km), so signal will fall off at the 3rd power
of
distance until you reach far-field conditions.
