Default What am I doing wrong?

I checked the power level on an LRL I have. I measured 13 u amps (micro amps) and about 35 millivolts. Can anybody tell me what's wrong with that? I put a VLF receiver near the antenna and there is no sound coitming out.

10 watts is over 20 million times more power. My meter must be wrong.
