Do you agree that it is the field emission (loss of electrons)?
loss of electrons maybe, but due to friction with particulates in the

atmosphere. also partly due to the fair weather electric
field:http://www.missioninstruments.com/pa...ec_fields.html

In a short period of time the atmospheric conditions are similar.

I am asking for measurement of the netto current in the track
ground-antenna.
The two measurements: before and during transmitting in the same
atmospheric
conditions.

net current = 0.


He has yet to wonder how satellites could transmit very long. After all,
there would come a point in time where the charge would be so high on
the vacuum insulated satellite that it could perform his field emission


Oops should read "could NOT perform".
