The ELEA Experiment

Extremely Low Elevation Angle Experiment - G0AUG @ 11:05 AM in UK

This clip is referenced in Chapter 3 describing efforts to enhance the verticals’ low elevation emissions by harnessing the “skin effect” of salt water. Essentially, attempting to energize the surface of the salt marsh to create a far field ground plane surrounding the verticals.

We are listening on a receiver in the United Kingdom. G0AUG reports his local reception time of 11:05 AM and his use of a 560’ horizontal loop up 20’ for transmitting and receiving. The clip concludes with a transmission from the phased verticals in Rhode Island as heard in Europe.
