GROUND "ANTENNA"

The following article was sent to me by a reader who has considerable experience in the world of short wave and SSB.  I present you with information which may be of value in a near future world in which having a SSB or  ham radio antenna on a tall tower may simply be advertising for trouble.  "Out of sight, out of mind" is an old aphorism which may be even more applicable in a world gone mad.

Miles:

1. Drive a ground rod (at least 4') into ground where green stuff is growing. Green stuff indicates moisture = conductivity.

2. Get a run of coaxial cable. (any kind)

3. Connect INTERIOR wire to ground rod. DO NOT connect shield conductor to ANYTHING! (Tape it)

4. Run coax to your radio.

5. Connect INTERIOR wire to your whip antenna. DON'T connect sheath conductor to ANYTHING! (Tape it)

You will be ASTOUNDED at your reception. I dabled with this in my youth. IT WORKS! No one really knows why. This technology is an offshot of Nicoli Tesla's work which has been SUPPRESSED! This particular aspect of "Tesla Technology" was abandoned in the 1930's, DELIBERATELY!

At any rate, it has a survivalist application.
