Thanks Dick - this is my RLoss total and probably I didnt have the trees it should be around 10 ohms which means I could drive more current into the array for the same power - so Im effectively  much more lossy due to the environment than I would  have liked. The idea here was to compare to  effectiveness of the loop versus typical top loaded Marconi in a Alaskan Birch forest at 500kHz  - the loop is far more docile to date - tomorrow ill find out how it compares Watt for Watt... :-)

Ps ducks are returning yay !!
