[Lowfer] E probes .v. loops

[Steve Dove]

Hi Laurence,

Trust you are well.

Bear in mind that most of the 'antenna' of an e-field probe is in fact the outer of the coax 
feeder;  under ideal circumstances where this is contained (by grounding the feeder close 
to the antenna so decoupling the rest of the feeder) there is little to choose between 
probe or loop.  With what you're intending to go and do, the loop would definitely win.

And probably be not the most bizarre thing you've tried to get past an airline . . .

        Cheers,

                Steve

p.s.  propagation getting to be good enough to possibly 'hear' you, but still too noisy.
