Hello Bob,
Sorry chum, you're confused. Ken was talking about setting up an electric
field in the soil around the stakes as earth is actually a semiconductor.
It has nothing to do with antennas or SLF operation as I had described.
You are thinking of induction, an air core transformer. That building
system uses a magnetic, not an electric field. You described a closed
loop, the primary of the transformer.
BTW, that same electric field is set up in the earth by a lightning
strike or a down power line only at extreme voltage. That's why people
have been killed by lightning without having been struck and why one
should never aproach a down wire even if it looks harmless. Automatic
equipment can restore power unexpectedly.
