Re: LF: Earth antenna

[Tony <ei8jk@o2.ie>]

 Hi Rick.

Yes I think I can confirm that.
I connected my signal generator to the earth antenna (300mV p-p at 150 
KHz) and walked about with my long wave transistor radio and found 
maximum signal when the ferrite rod antenna was 90 degrees to the wire, 
which confused me.
I also connected it to the inverted L and got very little signal from it 
at all, even when standing underneath it.
I'm busy tomorrow, but I will do a lot more tests this weekend and I 
will lay out another (slightly shorter) earth antenna 90 degrees to the 
first one.
73, Tony, EI8JK.
