I was playing around with an AM receiver in the back yard and I found
I didn't even need a signal generator.  My vertical has a shunt coil
to ground so AM broadcast energy has a path to the radials and I had
plenty of energy picked up from strong stations here near Washington
DC to locate my radials.
