To get best results I think you need LOW conductivity around the earth-electrode "antenna", so the signal spread (and hence effective loop area) is greatest.  Placing near a river is likely to give poor results in my experience.

At 136kHz I suspect the earth-electrode "antenna" can be better than many solutions in the better directions (end-on), although I very much doubt that would match a good Marconi with a good ground system. My compromise vertical is NOT a very good LF/MF antenna!

Hello Roger,

 

Big earth electrode antenna allows transmitting on 136kHz with average results.

We are slowly getting ready for testing at 8.27kHz but for this test we needed 10km of wire…

A couple of Gs came on. G3XIZ (46km) was 2-3dB better S/N on the earth-electrodes than on the compromise vertical. He is end-on to the "loop" in the ground. G6AVK was not copied at all. He is orthogonal to the "loop" in the ground. I was quite surprised not to spot him at all though.

 

Conclusions? The earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground is quite effective at 136kHz, but more directional.

 

Next season I will definitely try an , E-field probe on RX!

 

No great DX, but experimentation!
