loop antennas and noise suppresion

No, the earth doesn't act as a surface of a capacitor. Capacitors will self-discharge even when they aren't connected to any circuit. # My answer was to Sal. He wrote: "(Last year, I used a 20m dipole at 30 # feet, operating out of my van. # Everything floated above ground without incident and many QSOs.)" # The floor of the van is the plate and the surface of the Earth is the second # plate. # S* Just as a mental exercise, assume that the entire setup...van and antenna, is transported to a place in space where there is negligible capacitance to the earth. Is it your contention that the setup would operate any differently? |
