Subject: Topband: Signal attenuation from foliage near 160m antenna
This subject has been discussed here plenty of times in the past, and the consensus has always been that trees and other foliage near a 160m antenna has a negligible effect on the transmitted signal. That's what I have believed for some time.
Without doubt foliage has measurable effects on the antenna when it is close to a voltage
point (speaking from experience with loops), so Carl's findings make good sense. Bob VE7BS _________________ Topband Reflector
