Roy,

What is the voltage measured between the bottom-end of a 1 metre
vertical antenna and a perfect ground when the field strength is 1

V/m
and the wavelength is 1 m.


1 volt.

========================================
Thank you Roy.

I don't doubt that your answer conforms to the learned text books on
the subject. But I am suspicious the text books may be wrong.

I will do some calculations related to radiation resistance and power
available to a matched receiver. If I think my suspicions are correct
then I will come back to you.
