 Subject: Topband: Signal attenuation from foliage near 160m antenna


This subject has been discussed here plenty of times in the past, and the
consensus has always been that trees and other foliage near a 160m antenna
has a negligible effect on the transmitted signal. That's what I have
believed for some time.

Without doubt foliage has measurable effects on the antenna when it is close to a voltage
point (speaking from experience with loops), so Carl's findings make good
sense.
