I seem to recall about 1988, Tim Cutforth of Vir James inc.  presented a
paper at the NAB abut using an above ground, but laid on the ground, loop
antenna for a temporary emergency antenna.  His studies as I recall were
done on the 160 meter ham band.  I don't recall much abut it, but I believe
he concluded it was not very efficient but a viable temporary antenna.  If I
can find my minutes book from that far back I'll look it up.

Bill, please let us (me) know if/when you do find it. I wonder if this was
DDRR antenna he was referring to.
