Re: LF: Two Earth Electrodes Antenna

[Roger Lapthorn <rogerlapthorn@gmail.com>]

Rick (the Japanese one :-) ),

The diagram in the Japanese paper shows exactly my "earth antenna" configuration. However I cannot read Japanese. Is it possible to give a brief summary of the conclusions (in English)?

I will try to put this into a language package to see if I can obtain a Google translation.

 To avoid misunderstanding each, may I suggest rename "Earth Antenna" to
"Two Earth Electrodes Antenna"?
 JA5FP, a friend of mine, wrote a literature on so called "Earth Surface
Antenna" at bellow URL, but written in Japanese.  There are some figures
on direction path.
