Introduction to the Mysteries of
Ground Radio and Antenna's by
Gerry Vassilatos
----- GROUND Radio is
a subject which has remained on the periphery of
engineering discussions for decades. It has
maintained its elusive and mysterious poise because
of fundamental anomalies observed when its methods
are utilized, anomalies which manifest when signals
are both transmitted and received directly through
the ground. The inability to adequately address the
associated anomalies has produced a remarkable
impasse among conventional engineers. Many highly
qualified such persons are quite sure that the
Ground Radio phenomenon is adequately explained
through classic theoretical propagation models.
Experimental findings however, have brought to our
attention several anomalous features of this form
of Radio propagation.start
----- Only an
extensive and deliberated exploration of Ground
Radio will prove our several discoveries in the
art. Rudimentary and inexpensive in requirement,
experiments with Ground Radio provide an endless
source of anomalies. Experimental investigations of
these methods may begin with as little equipment as
a shortwave receiver, a copper pipe, and a length
of wire. The rest remains in the strangely lost art
of interpretation. The accurate interpretation of
the findings derived through such experimentation
requires familiarity with the pertinent
bibliography. We hope that the reader is encouraged
to duplicate and surpass these methods, as those
who do so will not be without their due reward. The
discovery of new and unfamiliar phenomena can be
yours...when you take the first step. 02-
TELLURIC CURRENTS
----- The
metaphysical earth currents were both observed and
described in great detail by Fr. Athanasius
Kircher. His writings preserve an ancient knowledge
which concerned itself wholly with the vitality of
the earth. The metaphysical telluric currents were
known to permeate the world, the energies which
mediating vitality. Maps of telluric currents were
the prized possessions of geomancers, permitting
the knowledge of vitality control on earth. It is
said that wars were fought by the selective
elimination or exaltation of specific veinworks in
the telluric circulatory system. The science of
Geomancy thus formed the mysterious historical
backdrop against which a wide variety of natural
observations were subsequently made.
----- With time, the
experiential appreciation for the metaphysical
earth energies was systematically lost. The more
qualified scientific observers replaced their
sensitive experience of telluric energies with a
merely superficial observation of geoelectric
currents. This schism has provoked the
controversial thesis upon which our present
discussion is therefore based. While some will be
defiantly confident that experiential telluric
energies are resolved into geoelectrical currents,
we remain just as adamant in our absolute
conviction that the experiential telluric energies
precede and define the observed geoelectric
patterns. This schism has not, and will never be
resolved. So long as there are those who insist on
observing the superficialities of natural
phenomenon, completely obsessed with the kinematics
of otherwise experience-filled phenomena, there
will be a scientific conflict.
----- The filtration
of highly selected portions of natural phenomena
characterizes contemporary quantitative science.
Until the scientific community becomes willing to
admit the greater part of their experience, all
considerations of natural phenomena will remain for
them a blank wall of intensities and numerical
values. Ancient Science connected its pursuants
with an experience, one gained through direct
physiological contact with the telluric currents
themselves. It is in the active contact with these
ground-derived currents alone that we recognize the
true and fundamental continuum in which our world
is set, an expansive experience by which we access
and learn the ancient arcanum.
----- The discovery
that various signal species could be both
transmitted and received directly through grounded
terminals, forms the fascinating subject matter of
a largely forgotten historical record. In this
regards, we find a technical bibliography replete
with remarkable instances of early successful
experimentation in the art of drawing power and
signals directly from the ground. Completely
ignoring the fact that a large bibliography of
anomalies had been compiled by research
predecessors, engineers of the time developed
communications systems which relied entirely on
electrical currents. As a carrier of code and
voice, electricity was "reliable". But with
increasing engineering emphasis on electricity and
electrical technology, the subject of geomantic
energies was driven into forgetfulness. Thereafter,
those who confused geomantic energy with
electrostatic effects were the cause of the
numerous controversies by which Late Victorian
Science is characterized; endless confusions in
terms and identifications.
----- When the subject
of long-distance communications was compelled to
shift thematic emphasis away from the vitalistic
foundations, it lost touch with an energy which did
not cease exerting strong influences on the
developing electrical technology of the time
period. Only a few, now legendary researchers,
continued the geomantic tradition. From the very
first moment in which ground connections were
established in a telegraphic signalling line,
inventors and operators of electrical systems
noticed anomalous energetic behaviors in the
ground. The very first attempts at long distance
telegraphy involved the burial of highly insulated
double lines (Morse and Vail). Upon first closure
of the telegraph key, the signalling components
became so thoroughly suffused with charge that the
exchange of signals became an impossibility.
----- In truth, the
art of wired and wireless communication began in a
reawakened appreciation of geomancy and geomantic
energies. This remarkable reminder came about with
the replacement of the original 2-wire telegraph
line (Reusser, 1794) by the 1-wire method (Aldini,
1803), the latter requiring far less wire and
several ground plate terminations. The telegraph
stations of Morse used grounded plates, a means by
which engineers imagined the "necessary return
current...through the ground". Wired code on a
single overhead wire was thus "matched" by an
opposed ground return of charge, a condition which
fulfilled the prevalent model of electrical
closure. 03 GEOMANTIC INCURSIVES
----- As none of these
researchers actually measured the elusive "ground
current", many engaged an imaginative freeplay in
the artistic description of the same. Several
patent drawings reveal a curiously geomantic flair,
the meandering "return currents" flowing over land
and stream to their terminals. Here we find
remarkable evidence that these inventors were in
fact engaging in a form of geomantic vision,
describing an entirely different and more agile
energy species than electrical current (Farmer,
Ader, Frow). Toward the peak successful operation
of telegraph and telephone systems, the proper
placement of terminal plates was an absolute
requirement. As this art demanded special ability,
the first telegraph linesmen used the methods
familiar to dowsers. The very placement of ground
plates, poles, and junction boxes was, for these
linesmen, completely predicated on the strong
presence of upwelling energies from the earth.
Empirical evidence proved these methods superior to
"resistance surveying" in the placement of station
plates and other components.
----- Telegraph lines
so constructed were possessed of a noumenous and
suffusive quality. Natural geomancers had provided
the means. Here was evidence that another energetic
stratum was governing the development and limiting
the establishment of long-distance electrical
communications systems. The subjective experience
of linesmen was ample indication that such a
mysterious energy stratum was indeed present and
active. Thus, the invasive energy demonstrated its
ability to enforce certain restrictions on the
establishment and operation of Telegraphy and
Telephonic systems. The communications technology,
which engineers imagined to be completely
independent of natural agency, was being subverted
by an everpresent geomantic influence.
----- Besides the
obvious geomantic incursions, those which
influenced the decisions of workmen and designers,
the energetic presence made itself known in several
other ways. Power literally appeared "from the
ground" in many stations, a condition which Alfred
Vail reported (1839). He found it necessary to
progressively remove batteries from the first
long-distance telegraph line, reporting this
remarkable manifestation of energy to his elder
partner, Samuel Morse. Lines operated on an energy
which exceeded the battery supply, and
ground-connective communications systems were
especially prone to bizarre energy
manifestations.
----- Hoping to save
the finance of excessive wire line, many telegraph
systems implemented the discovery that code could
easily "pass through water". To this end, engineers
experimented with the use of widely separated
groundplates, ameans which proved strangely
successful. Experiments with ground-conduction
established telegraphic contact through an isthmus
(Morse, 1842), through streams (Vail, 1843), wide
rivers (Lindsay, 1843), canals (Highton, 1852),
across a bay (Meucci, 1846), through the earth
(Stubblefield, 1872), and between distant islands
(Preece, 1880). An accidental discovery proved that
one longline system continued operating with great
strength of signal, despite the fact that the line
had been literally broken in several places. The
realization that code signals could actually enter
and traverse the ground for several hundred yards,
and then reenter a grounded line, triggered a new
revolution.
----- Thereafter,
combined wired and wireless links formed the
greater portion of telegraph exchanges across the
miles of North American countryside. Ground plates
launched code signals into predetermined land
tracts and waterways, signals being conveyed along
specific subterranean routes. Signals passed "into
and through the ground" to each next ground plate
of a series. When reentering the next groundplate,
signals continued through the overhead lines to
their appointed destinations. Stations received
very strong signals in this method, signals with
great clarity and force. Here were the early
beginnings of the conduction wireless methods, and
relied on the mysterious nature of ground
conduction and ground energy for their successful
operation. It was clear to linesmen and operators
that the signal energy could not possibly be
maintained over such long ground and water
conduction paths without amplification. Some
external agency was somehow augmenting and
modifying the applied signal impulses. The
anomalous functioning of these largescale regional
signalling systems proved again that the geomantic
agency was literally wending its way through the
line networks. Not every such line operated in this
manner, the geomantic currents selecting very
specific paths for its operation. This topographic
selectivity hailed attention back to the maps once
treasured by geomancers. The augmentation of
applied electrical energy was obvious. These
specially placed telegraph and telephone lines
operated for years without batteries at all.
Station operators took this phenomenon for granted.
Despite the "long dead and corroded Edison Cells",
telegraph station operators continued the powerful
exchange of "fat blue and sparking" signals for
decades (Lehr).
----- Other
researchers corroborated the fact that usable
amounts of current could actually be derived from
the ground, currents whose powerful displays
permitted the elimination of battery cups and
generators. The failure of all reductive electrical
models to satisfactorily address these energetic
characteristics became especially evident with the
development of the "earth batteries", an outgrowth
of these telegraphic observations (Bain, 1849).
These simple material composites, made to be buried
in earth, produced currents not explained through
electrolytic action. Small buried earth batteries
developed sufficient power to charge storage
batteries. They were also employed to provide
telegraphic (Bryan, Cerpaux, Dieckmann, Jacques,
Bear), and later telephonic systems (Stubblefield,
Strong, Brown, Tomkins, Lockwood) with
uninterrupted operating power. Neither decomposing
nor failing with months of buried use, the
mysterious earth batteries contain an essential
mystery which electrodynamic models cannot
adequately explain.
----- Those who doubt
these facts may attempt the simplest of
experiments. Place two identical copper rods into
the ground however distant your skepticism demands.
The ground can be dry. Connect a galvanometer to
each rod by means of thin wire. An anomalous
positive reading results. This simple fact
illustrates the concepts taught by Nathan
Stubblefield, who stated that earth batteries do
not generate electricity: they intercept and
receive ground flowing telluric currents. If you
wish to find strong telluric currents by this
means, place one of your two ground rods into a
tree root. The galvanometer should be wired close
to this base. The other rod is wired and can be
placed in sequentially different spots. Readings
can literally "pin" the meter, holding it there for
weeks.
----- Telluric
incursives continued to "interrupt" all electrical
communications methods which employed the ground as
a medium of exchange. These incursives revealed
aspects of the geomantic nature as each new
technology was connected to the ground. The mere
appearance of additional power was greatly
outperformed when, just prior to the advent of
Telephony, a shortlived revolution swept the
Telegraphic World. Certain telegraph companies
replaced all of their electromagnetic systems with
the Chemical, or "Automatic Telegraph" of Alexander
Bain (1849). The Chemical Telegraph regime utilized
the electrosensitivity of special chemical papers
to register incoming signals. Code impulses made
their dark blue marks on the rolling strip of
sensitive paper, the task of decoding having thus
been made "automatic". Because of the low power
requirements typical to their method, the Automatic
Telegraph lines were successfully operated across
much greater distances than their electromagnetic
counterparts.
----- From the very
first, some such Chemical Telegraph systems
operated on ground power alone. Not only did these
systems produce strong signal markings in complete
absence of batteries, but partly coherent signals
spontaneously appeared in absence of operators as
well! The mystifying appearance of fragmentary
sentences and geometric patterns was continually
observed in idle Chemical Telegraph receivers, a
phenomenon which has been discussed in a former
treatise (Vril Compendium Vol. 3). Perceptive
investigators clearly perceived that incursions of
geomantic energy were dynamically modifying and
augmenting every ground application of electrical
energy. Such anomalous energy manifestations, which
often revealed a perplexing time-periodicity, found
no plausible explanation among the
theoreticians.
----- With the
introduction of Telephony, the use of simple buried
terminal plates was soon replaced by a great number
of special articulate ground components. Again
requiring geomantic sensitivity for their proper
ground placement and orientation, these remarkable
interleaved and multivented forms literally
launched and received signals along selective
topographic directions (Taylor and Muirhead, Lugo,
Smith). Besides those anomalous power observations
in telegraphic and telephonic systems, anomalous
observations were noted with the development of
wireless communications. The relevant bibliography
is filled with instances of geomantic power
incursions in wireless systems. These incursions,
clearly understood by early wireless pioneers as
effects of the earth connection, made their impact
on the engineering community.

GROUNDWAVE RADIO ----- The
late part of the Nineteenth Century was a rich and
productive time for the empirical researchers,
those who explored the deep mysteries of ground
conduction radio. Such investigation produced a new
world of possibilities in the Wireless Arts.
Experimenters found distinctive differences when
varieties of geometric shapes were simply buried, a
series of discoveries having no satisfactory
conventional explanation. A great many highly
specialized ground "antennas" were developed and
patented during this time period, a technology
which provoked both disbelief and criticism on
numerous counts.
----- The very first
vocal radio broadcast was engaged by Nathan B.
Stubblefield (1872). Mr. Stubblefield employed
special "earth cells" and long iron rods to
transmit strong vocal signals "with great clarity".
These signals traversed a mile or more of ground, a
coordinated conduction wireless system providing
telephone service for a hardworking farm community.
The Stubblefield Radio Method represents an
essential technological mystery. His "earth cells"
never wore out, never produced heat in their
telephonic components, and provided "signal ready"
power at any given instant of the day. Being
neither activated or assisted by additional battery
power, the system was fully operational around the
clock.
----- Later critics
attempted the reduction of the Stubblefield Radio
System to mere "subsoil conduction" mode of
transmission, but remain completely unable to
reproduce the performance to this day. Mr.
Stubblefield repeatedly stated confidence in the
fact that his Radio System was performing an act of
modulation, not a transmission of signal power. The
preexisting "electrical waves in the earth", he
firmly stated, were the real energy carriers for
his Wireless Telephone Exchange. The special "earth
cells" were connective terminals, not power
antennas; a means by which direct connection with
the geomantic energy stratum was obtained.
----- In an entirely
different regime of exploration, a regime having
nothing whatsoever to do with waveradio energies,
Dr. Nikola Tesla directed the construction of a
massive radiating structure on the northshore of
Long Island. His previous years of experience
taught him the secrets concerning radiant energy
and its effective propagation through the air and
space (1892 to 1900). Understanding the means by
which radiant energy may be more effectively beamed
down through the ground, Dr. Tesla established the
magnificent Wardenclyffe Station (1901). Tesla
intended Wardenclyffe to be the first of a series,
stations for the subterranean beam transmission of
radiant energy. Propagation of very large diameter
radiant energy beams had been found more effective
for given power purposes, when conducted through
solid rock. Tesla found that the earth was
transparent to these penetrating straightline
beams, and planned the use of deeply imbedded
ground terminals in order to direct and launch his
special radiant energy.
----- Dr. Tesla took
special pains to establish the extensive
underground conducting system in order "to get a
grip of the earth". This most complex construction
operation, necessarily executed long before the
great tower was erected, took place below the Power
Broadcast Station. Tesla stated that this was the
most difficult part of his construction operation
at Wardenclyffe, the drilling of long iron pipes
having first been driven down to more than 300 feet
into the foundation rock. At a depth of 120 feet,
Tesla excavated several radiating shafts, long
hallways whose internal walls were covered with
pitch and surrounded with iron pipeworks. These
shafts extended outward at this horizontal depth
for several hundred feet in all directions, a
formidable ground projector. Beneath the central
chambers of this Magnifying Transmitter, the deeply
embedded terminals actually formed the primary
beaming structure; a bizarre conception which was
literally rediscovered in legal documents provided
by Mr. Leland Anderson, and has since been
experimentally verified by Eric Dollard.
----- Fr. Josef Murgas
(1906) produced a remarkable series of articulated
monopole terminals. These coaxial coil monopoles
were deeply drilled pipes, filled with mineral oil
and activated by radioimpulses. With these designs,
Fr. Murgas exchanged extremely powerful and
static-free signals to great distances with very
little applied power. The later proliferation of
ground aerial designs included double grounded
arches (Tesla, Collins, Ducretet, Musits, Pickard),
underwater and underground coils (Jones),
underground loops (Beakes), "bent-L" inversions
(Appleby, Knoll), and underground channel-loops
(Hanson). Of these buried ground systems, none were
as prolific as those developed by James Harris
Rogers (1913). Most properly categorized as buried
dipoles, Rogers antennas rested across the
subsurface horizon of the ground, and were
relatively easy to establish.
----- Desirous of
creating VLF and ELF transmission sites for
oceangoing surface and submerged fleet vessels,
ground antenna designers attracted the attentions
of the NRL and other military research
laboratories. In the effort to establish failsafe
communications between command centers and distant
fleet, ground surface, or submerged forces,
military engineers explored both Rogers buried
antennas and Murgas drilled monopoles. To the
thrift-minded military engineers, the buried Rogers
Antennas were more accessible than the more
effective and world permeating Murgas designs.
Placed into long plowed furrows, the various Rogers
antennas provided clarified signals. Compared with
the large overhead aerials of other designers,
Rogers buried antennas performed in a remarkably
constant and dependable manner. Producing strong
signals, of both greatly depressed static and
equivalent reduced distortion levels, the Rogers
designs were prized by Naval Radio engineers.
----- Rogers buried
antennas were buried dipoles, a method application
to an old design. Because the Rogers Antenna series
were buried dipoles, their performance
theoretically completely depended upon their
compass orientations. The polarization of
transmitted or received signals necessitated that
Rogers Antennas be properly placed in the ground
with respect to compass bearings, a restriction
nonexistent with the superior Murgas Monopoles. But
Rogers Antennas were admirably suited to the
developing Naval Radio hardware. Driven by sinewave
generators, rather than Teslian aether pulses, the
Rogers designs operated in the Hertzian wave mode
adequately enough to win military support. Few
military experts bothered to recall that these
designs were all purloined from directly from the
Tesla patents, a fact which the genteel Tesla never
bothered to cite.
----- Periodically
classified and declassified, the Rogers designs and
their modifications have formed the core of the
military VLF and ELF communications arsenal. But
most of the researchers instinctively sought out
those monopoles which Fr. Murgas developed, and
which the military had overlooked. Throughout the
early part of the Twentieth Century, a great
variety of ground antennas made their sudden
appearance in the commercial radio market.
Experimenters everywhere were discovering that
different shapes and materials were capable of
providing extraordinarily strong radio
transmissions and receptions when simply
buried. Part

- GROUND TERMINALS -----
Attempts of devising newer and more effective
ground antenna designs provoked several intriguing
explorations. The most amazing discoveries included
those made with relatively small buried metal
forms. Radio rules changed completely when buried
antenna were employed, the complete elimination of
Hertzian dimension restrictions being the first
observation. Unlike their aerial counterparts,
buried terminals were not bound by those exacting
requirements of wavelength. One did not require
lateral dimensions equal to the normal shortwave
aerial yardage, the first feature recognized by
radio amateurs.
----- It was indeed
during this time period that the customary use of
old iron radiators and large metal bedsprings,
scrap metal surplus, became an experimental vogue
with radio amateurs. These buried, highly
articulated iron forms, provided powerful evidence
that the ground antenna principle actually worked.
In the classic models, the burial of any aerial
structure represented immersion in a conductive
medium. The burial of conductors in the ground was
viewed as reduction to a uniform, neutral
electrical gradient. This condition sufficiently
neutralized all of the geometric differences within
an isoelectric horizon. Electrodynamic theory
stated that any buried metal composite, however
"variegated" or "articulated" in form, would simply
behave as a "lumped" resistance.
----- While the use of
variegated antennas posed no threat to the existing
paradigm, academicians considered the concept of
buried variegated antennas a theoretical
impossibility. Indeed, those who examined ground
aerial patents found completely problematic the
notion that highly variegated geometric structures
could demonstrate differing degrees of transmissive
or receptive advantage. Electrical engineers
insisted that the net surface areas of these buried
"articulate" forms alone determined their resultant
excessive performance. In this consideration,
material composition did not matter. Conductivity
was the prime factor. Differing only in their
various surface areas, the only theoretical
differences among buried geometries, in addition to
those of mere surface area, were thought to be
factors of electrolytic corrosion. The more pitted
the ground contact surface, the more likely a
buried object would become better conductive to
signals. The microsurficial increase of surface
contact through corrosive pitting was called to
explain the "additional gain".
----- Since the
electrical merits of buried materials were
supposedly the simple result of surface area and
the effectively moved electrical volume, the result
of this inherent surface area, no special discovery
was acknowledged among the authorities. But
empirical determinations proved that different
geometric shapes and (more unbelievably) different
material composites, actually did effect an
enhanced "launching" of radiosignals far in excess
of their calculated surface area. Solid plates of
calculated equivalent surface did not perform as
magnificently as the buried radiators or
bedsprings. he articulated exposure for potential
conduction increasing to or from the surrounding
ground.
----- But empirical
research consistently overturned each of the
theoretical contentions, proving by incontestable
demonstration the superior signalling
characteristics of articulate ground terminals.
Anomalous signal strengths were both transmitted
from and received through ground transmitting
systems far in excess of intensities or topographic
distances declared possible by theory. This was
particularly true when the ground transmitting
antennas were powered by spark-generated,
asymmetric impulse currents. Signals were somehow
being "collimated and constricted" within the
ground proper. This constrictive action did not
explain all of the observed signal intensities.
Evidence had again suggested that the ground was
"leaking" a non-electrical component up into both
the electrical systems and their emerging
signals.
----- In fact, several
widely advertised and highly successful designs
included the "Yale Ground Hog", the "Subtenna", the
"Aeroliminator", and the "Subaerial". These few
representatives demonstrated the superiority of
ground antennas, a validity which literally emptied
the stock rooms of each ground antenna distributor.
Dr. F. L. Satterlee, an X-Ray specialist, developed
several "tuned ground" radio receivers. Implemented
by The Moon Radio Company, these radiosets placed
their performance boasts on a remarkable
"antenna-free" operation. The principle advantage
of these ground antennas was their
static-eliminating nature. The ease of their
installation and maintenance combined great
signalling efficiency. Several of the commercial
units needed only to be connected with a cold water
pipe, their powerful and "static-free" reception
being unequalled by the more conventional "aerial
receivers". Additionally, waveradio receivers
produced by The Moon Radio Company operated during
normally impossible meteorological and geophysical
conditions; a condition well described by Nikola
Tesla. A great many inventors continued producing
truly amazing diversity in the "ground antenna"
format. Throughout this time of amazing and
anomalous discoveries, the empirical method led the
way.

- NATURAL AMPLIFIER It had been clearly observed by a number
of experimenters that the environment exerted
strong and dynamic action on transmitter signals.
It was long known that this mysterious energy
species could actively charge ground-connected
radio systems in absence of applied power, the
early experiments of Loomis having established this
principle (1862). This agency was very obviously
possessed of an inherently superior articulate
nature, being able to distinguish and energize
buried material composites and varied geometric
forms. In addition, the energetic ground agency
seemed able to selectively seek out, constrict
into, and intensify the incoming signal power of
distant stations. There were obviously other
influences which determined the nature of
ground-traversing signals.
----- Experimenters
realized that these effects differed with both the
methods used in obtaining the spark energy, the
manner in which disturbances were launched into the
environment, the grounds into which signals were
launched, and the specific directions along which
they were launched. The spark applications of small
experimental radiotransmitters produced signals of
unexpected large volume at great distances,
empirical evidence of an unexplained signal
"amplifier" in the natural environment (Appleton
and Barnett). VLF amplification effects had been
empirically recognized among radio engineers on
both sides of the Atlantic. In fact, the very first
historical Transatlantic Signals of Marconi were
problematic from every engineering standpoint. The
calculated losses, theoretically expected of these
signals, were far too great to account for his
first claimed successes (1901). This was a fact
which provoked many to doubt and criticize
Marconi's claims in the venture. Later repeatable
demonstrations of the VLF amplification effect
evoked few suggested explanations from the
engineering community.
----- The concept that
signals could acquire additional energy from an
unacknowledged geomantic source was not readily
received by the academic community. Some
experimenters initiated dialogue on the possible
gain of signals which had traversed the geomagnetic
field (Prentice). These gains were not the simple
result of "standing waves", nor the result of Hall
Effect intensifications provoked by launching
signals across the geomagnetic field. The
perplexing effect was noted across the entire
radiofrequency spectrum, from VLF radiotelegraphic
to shortwave radiotelephone services. Unlike the
identical phenomena which took place in wired
telegraph and telephone lines, these effects were
taking place in complete absence of wire. But what
dynamic agency was literally magnifying each
relatively small initial signal? Geological survey
could codify the selection of Marconi Station
sites.
