Roger,
the google translation seems quite readable:
73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T
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.
