Imagine putting 400w into the feedline. Ye-ha. Maybe it would make a nice
water heater for the house??? Would that be 79.94a???

Larry,

WA was off during most of that screen. I was taking additional readings on
the test loop and verifying that it isn't effected much by the unfrozen
ground underneath. The readings for Rac these days are all approximately
0.07 ohms. It appears I had the sig gen set for a triangular wave by
accident when I read the discouraging 0.12 ohms just after building it two
weeks ago.

I'm building a new transmitter for the loop tonight and planning to be
transmitting by tomorrow night so you can see what 4 amps on a small loop
looks like compared to the big one at about 1.4A. Hard to beleive that 4
amps can be acieved at only 1w! For Mike's sake <G>: I = sq rt 1/Rac and sq
rt 1/.0626 = 4A
