Yes, wide sweep from 1000KHZ to about 7000KHZ Had to drive the
ground rod a few times. My last estimate of removal wire resulted in
the wire "too short'
Had to add wire. Had enough of driving, and removing ground rods.
Was one that wedged in the ledge rocks and is still there.

Bruce,
Did you sweep from say the AM band up to 40M to find the null? Was the null
pronounced? I assume as you shortened the wire you hooked up to a terminating
resistor and repositioned the ground rod?
Tnx

I used to use AM broadcast stations to do a sanity
check on my beverages. Especially the higher end
of the band performs similarly to 160 meters,
pattern wise.

I took a hint from Luis HC1PF. A small 1.8+/- clock oscillator and a wire
attached to a pole is what he used.
I found said oscillator on eBay.
It worked, but I am not sure the near field results should be taken for
granted.
