But if you really still believe that the signal travels from the needles through the earth, make a simple experiment. Whoever has digital generator to output 560-1200KIZ and connect the pins to ground. With a simple AM radio can detect the signal generator in X distance. If you cover with a metal box together needles & generator, we see that the signal is lost. In fact, the radio signal received directly from the generator and not through the earth. This is the reason that shielded a canister missed the mark, simply because there was no signal detected from earth aapeftheias...
... Generator work with flat-top aerial used in the VLF, LF, MF and shortwave bands. This antenna invented before 1920. The flat-top antenna functions as a monopole antenna with capacitive load.

Hi Andreas,
I congratulate you for showing complete details for construction of your antenna to use for MFD signals.
Your signal generator looks very well-packaged as well as your antenna construction.
What you say for measuring signal distance is the same as what I measured.
I could not find the signal to travel more than 30 cm when I put two needles in the ground for a 5v signal generator sending audio frequency.
michael found better distance of two meters when he used his 100 watt 24 volt audio amplifier (TDA7294). But after 2 meters michael lost his signal.
It is exactly as you say. The signal is lost after a short distance.
Now I see your prototype is using only a single needle to send the signal.
Radio experimenters know the flat top antenna is used to send RF broadcast.
But most modern flat top antennas use a different configuration with long stretched parallel wires.
This flat top design that you made is based on earlier concepts which do not broadcast Hertzian waves, but they certainly send waves into the ground.
When I read the theories behind this antenna, I imagine the signal would travel very far.
But I can find very little information for how far the signal is sent through the ground.
Have you taken measurements to find how much distance you can detect the signal from your antenna needle?
Best Wishes,
