Finally found a good mounting box to finish assembling the SDR receiver today.đ   I’ll be away on work for a while so will be leaving it configured for 24/7 reception on the 160m band. One of my colleagues may try to ping off it in the interimđ§ I left some room internally so I …
Summary The main issue recently has been achieving a low-impedance ground, so that the ‘standing wave’ cavity is formed between the top of the Tesla transformer and Earth, rather than being formed between the top and bottom of the Tesla transformer. When an impedance-matching transformer is used to drive an Extra coil, the system impedance …
I’m working with Eric Dollard personally this week, learning a ton in the process so I figure I’d share bits of what I’m picking up thus-far. * Eric is extremely focused on having absolute minimum impedance to ground for telluric communication. * His ground is a buried pair of old fuel tanks with 1 ohm …
Eric Dollard commented on the very first accidental telluric experiments he performed, before he’d even heard of Tesla. He was messing with a single Tesla Extra coil (air-core high Q resonant quarter-wave coil), observing all its interesting properties, and got a call from a friend a town over telling him he was ‘on the air’ …
