Arnie Coro's website does discuss the item described. http://www.mail-archive.com/hard-cor.../msg18595.html He doesn't claim it works well (nor should he). At one point he describes burying it to stealth it. When I was moving an antenna, I had both dipole elements laying on the ground but still connected. Just for laughs, I tuned it up. I could hear a few other people but nobody could hear me. I think burying an HF antenna should be followed by a shopping trip for some writing paper and stamps. You'll need 'em. Buried antennas were seriously investigated by the military some time ago, and are probably still in use. While terribly inefficient, some can radiate enough to be useful, and invisibility can be an asset. I was told long ago that the reason NEC-4 was prohibited for export for so long was that it could be used for designing buried and therefore invisible antennas. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
