Seems i need some improvements on the spark gap of my LF antenna.
Depending on the humidity and wind there is some arcing during the
transmissions. These look very fascinating i find. Anyway i have to add
a spherical electrode there and increase the gap distance, especially
for VLF ;-)
A working colleague of me is a (semi) proffessional photographer (hobby)
and i asked him to take some nice pictures. He has an excellent
equipment i find but he means he should have taken a different lens for
these pictures. Anyway, i really like them.
When arcing at the ends of a LF antenna is discussed, sometimes a
picture can help a newcomer what is meant. Here are some more examples,
in high resolution (abt. 3 MB each)
