What method do u use to couple the amplifier to the electrodes? Is the amp
output impedence 8 ohms.
My method for my antenna using an audio amp would be to use a ferrite
transformer to step up the 8  ohms to 50 ohms (x 6.250) turns Prim 8 and
Secondary 20 turns. This way I can use my existing test equipment for swr
etc.
