[Lowfer] Morning lowfers

[John Andrews]

Mike,

One thing to remember: The effect of the ground under the loop is a variable. Bill was up in Massachusetts, which along with the rest of New England, has poor ground conductivity. He and I always felt that this reduced the loss from the loop being coupled into a better lousy dielectric than elsewhere in the world. Predictions from the RJELOOP programs always showed more loss than we found. So, your better soil may reduce the antenna current in comparison to Bill's results. Food for thought, anyway.
