Without giving explaination ... (this is potentially lethal+ACEAIQ- ..
disclaimer
and all
that stuff.. do at YOUR own risk) .. hang a 25 watt flo tube from your ant
feedline to ground (put tube in series with ant to ground) and watch what
happens
when it storms... it's not what you would guess +ACE- I used to have a 80M
loop
and coax fed, loop about 90 feet in GA pines ... always disconnected the
ant
from entire house/shack back then ... hung flo bulb with liter pop bottle
top covering
top end where feedline connected to keep flo tube terminals dry in rain ..
.hung bulb
in tree .. very interesting to watch ... espcially at night.
