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 any longer.

It should be easy to observe as the signal strength would decrease with
time. I haven't noticed that effect myself, nor has anyone else.
