Re: VLF: New coil for 8270 Hz

[Paul Nicholson <vlf0403@abelian.org>]

Stefan, do you have measurements, dimensions, etc of your VLF
antenna?  I believe it is a wire strung between two buildings?

I was thinking of having a go at modeling it using LCnetgen

 http://abelian.org/lcnetgen/

to see if I can get the correct capacitance and if so, then
a good estimate of effective height might be possible.

I would need to know the approx dimensions of the buildings
to model them as grounded blocks, and the distance between
the wire ends and the buildings, ie the insulator lengths.

The reason for asking is that I've still not resolved why I
can't pick up your 2970Hz even with some 15dB of stacking gain.

Should I look for a signal in my recording?
