I wonder how I can prove or disprove what components mounted above the
slopers are actually radiating .

Neon bulbs or low wattage small flourescent??3/4" dia?bulbs placed at
possible high voltage points?

Any ideas ?

Thanks... ? ?Jay, NE2Q

[billcroghan] Interesting problem Jay,  I'd guess that any type of bulb,
fluorescent or neon might give you an idea of the near field, but that may
not be accurately relating to the far field, especially since at 75 and 40M,
the ground is a significant reflector.  Additionally, the method of holding
the bulb/fluorescent will have an effect such that the result will be unduly
influenced by the method of measurement.  I'm going to watch the answers to
this one very closely.  Should be fun.
