Reg, was that 30 meters and 90 feet or 60 feet and 20 meters? Just
for us mathematically challenged.

Harrold,

To be exact, 30 meters = 98.43 feet.

It was NOT a deliberate mistake to check on how much interest would be
displayed in the experiment by readers. But it could have been. ;o)

I did swap the connections between antenna and counterpoise and, as
you can guess, it didn't make a scrap of difference.

The underground antenna ended up in a bunch of other radials. But the
best radial I have is the incoming domestic water main which is
terminated at its other end by 100,000 miles of underground pipes
feeding the whole of the Black Country (where it all began) and the
Great City of Birmingham (which yesterday suffered a tornado due to
Earth warming climatic changes caused by American pollution of the
atmosphere).

It was only the day before that life in the city was disrupted by
police raids on houses alleged to be occupied by unsuccessful suicide
bombers. Birmingham, in opposition to Manchester, will do anything to
get into the news!

It has to.
