      From: heathjohn2@gmail.com              I like it. Simple and do-able. Should       be able to swing a 3 foot wire at 3 or       4 Hz by hand with the hand end of the       wire clamped to a scope. I have spectrum       lab audio analyzer software on a lap top       for VLF whistlers , moving sky charges.       With this most of what is needed is already       in place. As you have already done this I       can proceed with confidence. One concern.       Standing in the middle of no where spinning       a 3 foot wire while looking at a lap top could       draw unwanted attention. I am tested for       a better WIFI connection officer , that's       my story and I am sticking to it.              As to your dislike of the Lorentz contraction       interpretation of magnetism you are not alone.       I can say from my shoes it grows on you       over time. How often is there an opportunity       to toss a fundamental force in nature such       as magnetism straight into the trash bin?       One less to worry about.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
