R,
I thought it was established that the
ground did not 'exist' for some 20/40
feet or more from the surface and as such,
your using a loop with the bottom wire
40 feet lower than the top wire ?
This was the principal of ground lying
Ae .would not work on salt marshes ,
but for normal ground , lossey but capable
of supporting radiation ?

Subject: LF: 472kHz TX without an antenna: it gets better (701km
with around 5mW ERP)
OK, now I am totally amazed....
Just got a WSPR spot from
DL-SWL in Germany (JO52hp) at 701km using just the earth electrode system on TX.
Please someone, explain why this works as well as it does, especially
considering my ERP must be around 5mW at best.
Incidentally G3XIZ is a colossal +7dB S/N on WSPR and I think Chris would
be easily workable on CW using the earth electrode system.
