Hi Roger,
I will try to translate diagrams for your understanding.
Figure 1: Typical configuration of Two Earth Electrodes Antenna.
Earth A, Earth B and Transmitter and Receiver.
Figure 2: Receiving characteristic using two wire length[10m and 30m]
for JJY 40kHz[one of the Standard time stations].
where Inner 8 shape : 10m space earth electrodes.
8 db up : 30m space earth electrodes.
Look that there is a gain direction depending on angles to the
broadcasting station - JJY 40kHz.
Dry earth is better than wet earth also described around
Fig.2.
Figure 3: Direction pattern between 2 set of two earth electrodes.
Horizontal line shown at the center is transmit antenna.
The others are receiving antennas with 90 degree variation.
OK means good propagation and NG means No Good angle.
A same direction with transmittion antenna is good result.
Figure 4: Simulated radiation pattern for very small dipole antenna.
Blue colour : Electric field.
Purple colour : Magnetic field.
Both electric charge field and magnetic field are generated
together in these mini dipole antenna.
Simulator : MININEC software.
The Experimental group is JA1FCZ, JA1HOF, JA1CNM and JA5FP.
I hope this short introduction will help you.
