Mike,

Did you see the round of wet/dry soil discussion on the other reflector 
today? Alex said that damp trees have a major effect on a vertical. I recall 
you saying last Fall that you thought damp trees had an effect on your loop. 
The fact that my test loop doesn't seem to be affected much by damp soil 
tends to make me believe the trees could be at least part of the reason for 
the drop in current after a rain. They could take many hours to dry out 
after a rain - similar to the soil. More tests needed.
