Default Ground Antennas


I did some surfing on the Internet and found a great deal of information
about Ground Antennas. Run a wire from a grounding rod to your antenna
lead on your radio and sure enough you start pulling in signals from the
ground. I conducted a simple test and it seems that some stations on the
lower bands offer very acceptable reception. I also read that this
matter was studied up until the 1930's and then all research ended. I
don't recall this ever discussed in this group before. Comments?
