Harold Beverage and Clarence Hansell used an amp meter near the end of the wave
antenna (Beverage) at long wave station 1XAO at Belfast in the 1920's. They
found that as the termination value was changed to the correct value, more RF
from the feed end came to the far end. When correctly terminated, more of the
10 mile Beverage was picking up signals from 5XX England. Hansell also did wave
antenna transmit experiments in 1925. (amp meters were not clamp on this time
period.) Clarence Hansell's 1920's Belfast Maine log book is available at
Stony Brook College.
