Some years back I buried a 30 metre (60-feet) auminium wire one spade
depth in my back garden. Wire was 1.5 mm in diameter. Soil
resistivity about 100 ohm-metres. To scientists that's 10
milli-Siemens. The near end of the wire came up in the shack. That's
under my kitchen sink. It's still there. Open-circuit at the far end.

Reg, was that 30 meters and 90 feet or 60 feet and 20 meters? Just for us
mathematically challenged.

Harrold,

To be exact, 30 meters = 98.43 feet.

It was NOT a deliberate mistake to check on how much interest would be
displayed in the experiment by readers. But it could have been. ;o)

I did swap the connections between antenna and counterpoise and, as
you can guess, it didn't make a scrap of difference.

The underground antenna ended up in a bunch of other radials. But the
best radial I have is the incoming domestic water main which is
terminated at its other end by 100,000 miles of underground pipes
feeding the whole of the Black Country (where it all began) and the
Great City of Birmingham (which yesterday suffered a tornado due to
Earth warming climatic changes caused by American pollution of the
atmosphere).

It was only the day before that life in the city was disrupted by
police raids on houses alleged to be occupied by unsuccessful suicide
bombers. Birmingham, in opposition to Manchester, will do anything to
get into the news!

Hi Reg, I live in the Great City of Birmingham, and there was no
tornado yesterday due to Earth warming climatic changes caused by
American pollution of the atmosphere. We do have tornados here from
time to time and have even before the American pollution of the
atmosphere.
Of course I live in B'ham Alabama USA so I am closer to the pollution
than you are. The company I work for has spent billions on
environmental projects as has a number of other companies. It is
starting to make a big difference in the air quality over here. I
doubt seriously the B'ham tornado was anything out of the ordinary (1
every 100 years).
If you want to see who is really cranking out the pollution, look at
third world countries who are attempting to progress, which takes
energy that they can not afford, much less any pollution control.
China comes to mind.
