I live in the (very) first settlement of Polish peoples in the US of A. Few of them speak polish. I don't know if the Chech's came in at the same time but there are many here. Tons of them. Germans as well. There are some commonalities in the Chech and Polish languages. But I am not an expert in European languages. Although I should be because I am a Viking. One should know something about your first language but I don't. My little sister is an expert in Russian, German, and fairly good at speaking Hebrew. She was on tour with an orchestra in Germany and all those people in Germany kept saying "your really a German aren't you?". She is blonde haired, blue eyed and speaks German with impunity. She studies things to an infinite detail.Yes, I have had a struggle trying to make my hobby a reality. I was educated in Electrical Physics and also Industrial Electronics. I fell in love with electronics in high school. One day I read an article in Popular Electronics about the "Neglected Band" and started looking into to low frequencies ever since.
I have read and accumulated a computer full of articles on LF antennas as well as other electronic subjects. My bookshelves are full. One of the insights that I have developed in the study of low frequencies is that not enough knowledge exist to make us experts. What I mean to say is that knowledge is sparse and you have to dig for it. But there are people that are experts in the low frequency domain. You don't meet one every day. Surprisingly there are universities that have revived these studies.
I have read so many articles on low frequency antennas and found that LF receiving antennas are not compared and contrasted enough. There is no definitive path for the layman to say the perfect antenna is "this one". Now that I am in retirement I plan to find out. In recent years there have been some advancements in receiving antennas but they are not studied like transmitting antennas. Now with the increase of man made noise people have had to take notice.
One thing I have learned about antennas is bigger is almost always better. Small loops discourage me. So I plan on building some large loops of various species. Bigger can cause the lost of directionality but in the LF spectrum it is much easier to maintain. I have a desire to try some other types as well. It is amazing that antennas developed a long time ago by people who are long gone still have not been deemed as archaic. If I had more land I would build some Beverages 4 wave lengths long. I will have to settle for a much smaller Beverage pointed at South America. I am thankful that I have only one big city and one power company to contend with in terms of noise.
By the way, you live amongst a lot of farms! Are there any cherry orchards close by? I think you have a Mexican restaurant in the little town nearby. They keep flowing north each day. When I was a kid you would have to drive 90 miles to find one. Yes, in Texas! Things change.
