Hi all,
It's been known for a long time, that one can combine two relatively
closely spaced LF antenna systems, and get an efficiency greater
than that of either alone.
Unfortunately, I've had a hard time convincing some folks on this ML.
Luckily, I stumbled across some professional documentation of this
effect. The station happens to be our own WWVB!
Go to http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm and
click on the link "WWVB Improvements: New Power from An Old Timer".
Even if you don't care about antenna efficiency, it makes for a
fascinating read, and has lots of info about LF propagation.
