Mini-Whip E field probe antenna height above ground potentials what effects
My E filed antenna is 6 mts above the ground however got street 9 mts overhead cables within 50-100 radus, im guessing all the ground points are shunts to earth, wll getting the E field antenna higher will improve E field levels, would the effort be worth the extra height
Comments
Unlikely.
With reception, it is not about obtaining the strongest signals, but maximising the Signal To Noise Ratio.
A lower height in a different position may work better.
Once you get above a certain height above the ground reference, you may start to suffer from resonance effects, that vary the amplitude response with frequency.
