Hey all,
Thanks for the tips
I only got between 25mV and 50mV on the oscilloscope (10MHz handheld scope) between the antenna and the ground rod.
I connected on to the end of the wire.
Can I connect the circuit to the same ground rod that the house electrical wiring is connected to? There is a ground rod at the meter box that goes some 8 - 10' below the ground.
If not, then no big deal. I know the electrical wholesalers sell the ground rods.
Has anyone considered experimenting using a compact 80m band antenna? It would make for transporting the system to places such as rivers and duck ponds where a ground rod can easily be placed.
