Hello Chris,

I would expect a sqare law relationship as well since the probe is a capacitive divider and thus the voltage should be directly proportional to the antennas voltage. And this rises with sqrt(2) x the power...

LF,
 
Acting on advice I have installed a whip aerial (probe) on top of a mast at the boundary of my property.
This is in order to monitor my VLF transmissions and to provide a reference level for any system improvements.
 
I noticed that the probe's pick-up voltage is directly proportional to my PA's supply current.
Assuming that the PA efficiency doesn't change drastically with current then would I be correct in assuming that the probe's voltage is directly proportional to the radiated power?
 
I was expecting a square law relationship . .
