...I only wish we could generate a good thread here re. GROUNDED
"half-loops" for transmitting...!
THAT application seems to be an obscure one, and save for the minutest of
details that I've seen in a mere handful of publications, appears to be
swathed in mystery & conjecture.
Do you recall the BIG signal emitted on 160 this past season ---
consistently, too --- by G3FPQ...? He apparently runs a PAIR of grounded
half-loops, in phase. He was, by far, the proverbial "Beacon of Britain"
with that set-up. No one could come even close. Certainly got me thinking
here, but any experiments along these lines shall be limited to when the
final grass "...harvest" is in, sometime near the end of October...
