Tests on the Reception Pattern of Earth Current Antennas (4-8)
Earth current antennas exhibit the familiar figure-of-eight reception pattern. Chris Trayner describes experimental work to determine whether the directionality can be used as a means of combating Loran interference. He concludes that the shallow nulls he observed were due to the effects of multiple Loran beacons at different locations.
