I am confused: are you saying that my comments contain errors? If so,
what
is
incorrect?:-)

Yes; OSU masters students in antennas are very good. I have one working
for me
right now.

No, Chip.

I do not see any errors in your comments.

What I was saying was that building such a system as originally described
is
a daunting task. There are many problems to overcome, one of which is
getting an antenna to work over a 25: 1 bandwidth with reasonably constant
performance.


I regularly use an active 41" monopole to accurately measure electric field
strength over the range of 10 kHz to 30 MHz. That's a ratio of 3000:1, and
that is 25-year old technology.
