[Lowfer] Tree Experience

[Peter Barick]

Hi Fellows,
 
Remember that big ferrite "stick" LF antenna that was created by Bill Bowers, a LowFer pioneer from OK. A picture of it had it above his work bench. About 10 years back he retired to TX and gave away some of his seasoned apparatus. He did borrow some property to erect a LF vertical w/ his radial treatment. Anyway, it was written up in The LOWFER. Charlie should have some current info on him. Charlie?
 
Cheers -- Peter

I've tried the "nail in the tree antenna" for listening to natural radio
200Hz-10kHz. It worked quite well with my RS-4 receiver, if I remember
correctly.

Wasn't Bill the one who built that huge ferrite loop? IIRC it was something
like 6' long! Bet that took a lot of ferrite. Would be an expensive
proposition these days.
