That's very close to the value the John is getting (actually John was 
getting readings slightly below 9db today). I suppose this isn't too far off 
what wound be expected. The area ratio is 5 in favor of the big loop and the 
current ratio is about 2 in favor of the test loop. 5/2 = 2.5x or 8db. The 
test loop is closer to the gnd and this could account for the 1 to 1.2db 
short fall. I'll raise it up as high as possible and we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the efforts guys. Now if I could only get some response form the 
skywave department.

Bill
