Although I am not intending to follow this
persuit I am curious.
The confusion arises over the layout of the
wires and is not made clear by anyone using the system as far as I
know.
Two wires get a mention. Are they laid out
across the ground like a dipole, random length and the far end earthed by an
earth rod driven into the ground.
or
do the wires run in parallel and what distance
apart
and
are the wires insulated, at the feed point how
close are the wires, is a transformer used to match the amplifier of around
8 Ohms output to the wires and what impedence are the wires.
are the wires lying on the ground or slightly
elevated ?
also
there is reference to buried pipes, elec wires
etc enhancing the propagation properties of the signal but since this would
be specific to the particular location
it cannot be relied upon as a statistic for a
serious study how the earth mode works
As well as above there is a power consideration
when trying to determin how far the signal would be received.
From information that I have the distance
covered would be short, however if in some cases the wires were slightly
elevated above ground even by a metre this could be considered an
elevated antenna.
Could someone clarify all these ambiguites
I await some info
