**Experiment:
Ground Antennas**  
**by Gerry Vassilatos & Michael Theroux** 

THE
EXPERIMENTS WHICH WILL HERE BE DESCRIBED ARE NOT IN THEMSELVES
DANGEROUS. THERE IS DANGER FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT TAKE ORDINARY
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING AC POWERED RADIOS.

ANY WORK
PERFORMED ON SUCH RADIOS DEMANDS DISCONNECTION FROM THE MAINS
DURING ALL PREPARATORY PHASES OF THESE EXPERIMENTS. NEVER
CONNECT WIRES TO ANY RADIO WHICH HAS BEEN LEFT OPERATING.
HAZARDOUS SHOCK CAN RESULT. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
PERFORM THESE EXPERIMENTS DURING A STORM! GROUND ANTENNAS ARE
DIRECT CONNECTIONS TO EARTH. WE SUGGEST YOU TAKE PRECAUTION BY
OBTAINING AN INEXPENSIVE LIGHTNING ARRESTER FROM LOCAL RADIO
MARKETS.

THE historical essay
on Ground Antennas is only a preliminary bibliography, a
foundation upon which to place our empirical confidence. It is
through the agency of just such articles and patents that an
archane world model finds its most complete explanation. The
inherent wonder of signals detected by ground-connected
shortwave receivers is their ability to receive signals with
greater strength and clarity than conventional aerials, and to
reveal the bioactivity of subterranean propagation. Beyond
their use as audio "capture systems", such shortwave receivers
display other more intriguing characteristics which lead our
attentions up toward a technology of the sublime. With the
shortwave receiver as a radionic tuning instrument, an
interface which captures and converts geomantic dynamics into
audio signals, we have made several astounding observations.

Recall that when
shortwave radio receivers were employed as peculiar detectors
of geomantic energy, additional unexpected phenomena began to
flood the relevant literature. Close inspection reveals that
both "ground radio" and "ground antennas" are the components
of Radionic phenomena, and are completely dependent on
Radionic principles for their astounding and otherwise
anomalous performance. Explorations of the interactions
between radiosignals and geomantic energies require very
simple equipment. Geomantic energy is biodynamic, and actively
modifies and augments radiosignal carriers. This presentation
will focus primarily on the more qualitative aspects obtained
through the use of ground-buried aerial designs, although it
will certainly follow that stringent quantitative measurements
will be both secured and reported.

 

This basic
preliminary experiment with the simplest ground aerial teaches
the biological growth characteristic of signals received
through the ground. Indeed, the implementation of a simple
ground pipe in place of an aerial, also converts the shortwave
receiver into a diagnostic tool. We may, by merely sweeping
the receiver dial, probe and "view" the biodynamic conditions
prevalent in the ground. Despite the great variety of ground
aerial designs, we observe a consistent signature of the
ground densified biodynamic energies.

 

**EXPERIMENT WITH A
COPPER GROUND PIPE** (G. Vassilatos)

Please observe the
precautionary notes placed at the beginning of this article!
When you have, try a simple experiment for yourself. Obtain a
short (2 feet) section of copper pipe from any hardware store.
Make a small cut into the top of this with a hacksaw. The cut
is made so that you may twist into it a secure wire lead.
Although the placement of the pipe is most important for many
radionic experiments, you will not be required to select the
most potent spot. While there are those whose qualitative
sensitivities permit such a direct location of highly "active"
ground locations, there are more quantitative methods to
assist in this necessary survey. If you wish to conduct your
experiments outdoors, you will need appropriate portable
radios and the like. In this case, you will more readily
discover the phenomena which we will mention. Plants are great
indicators for determining the right placement of ground
antennas and earth batteries a as they are also great
indicators of subsurface mineral content.

 

If you wish to
establish the very best point, find a place where dark green
vegetation thrives. Empirical explorations will serve you
best. While desertified plots of earth generally reveal the
absence of easily accessible ground currents, you will
discover an amazing phenomenon in such a location. Wait until
the ground is soft. I usually wait until after a good rainfall
before driving my experimental antennas down, having selected
a very verdant garden strip just below my office window. You
will need an available window, if you wish to maintain the
arrangement with the radio indoors. Wire will be run from your
receiver to the ground antenna, so it is imperative that your
window coincide with the ground point which you have selected.

 

Wear gloves when
performing this portion of the experiment. Using a small
sledge, carefully drive in a 2 foot long copper pipe. The pipe
you choose can be much longer according to your local needs. I
left a 4 inch section above ground for the hookup. Obtain a
sufficient length of coaxial cable (RG 58 works fine) to
establish a lead between the pipe and your radio receiver. If
long enough, an old straight electric guitar cable will do. I
clipped off both phono plugs and used the center conductor for
my experiments. Neatly trim away the outer shielding with
rubber tape. First connect the center lead directly to the
"aerial" terminal of your receiver. If your receiver has only
an external antenna, connect the ground lead directly to this
antenna. Now carefully drop this wire from your window to the
ground antenna. Close the window to hold the line, and go
outside to establish your connection.

 

**OBSERVATION 1**

The line will
instantly be flooded with ground currents, very high
potentials which will not cause "shock", but which may
over-excite your system. Take care not to handle these lines
for too long a time without rubber gloves. The line from
ground may appear "dead" to all appearance, but it is a source
of powerful vitalistic effects which can cause fatigue and
other congestive sensations. Once attached to your receiver,
leave the wire alone. The ground currents may be applied to
any kind of receiver. I successfully received television
signals with a ground antenna, obtaining surprisingly
clarified signals on most of the shorter wave channels (7
through UHF) without any other aerial. Ground antennas are
very useful for those who live in mountain-bound locations,
where television reception is distorted or even absent.

 

I first connected
the lead wire from ground to a small shortwave receiver, a
Hammerlund 38-S, which was acquired at an amateur radio sale.
The simple ground pipe brought in a surprising wealth of very
strong signals. When you first hear these signals for
yourself, you must take time to realize that the original
radio theory "prohibited" all such possibility. Straight
connection to ground was theoretically considered an
impossibility, being the "neutralization" of signals received
through the aerial wave route. It was precisely because of
these observations that the original theoretical model, which
spoke only of "radio skywaves", was first modified to
accommodate the obvious ground wave activity. Once
dogmatically fixed, radio theory required continual "a
posteriori" modifications: modifications from the empirical
world. Now you will begin to observe and appreciate numerous
empirical effects which are yet considered "impossible". With
your small system, you will literally peer into the
subterranean world, where bioactivities are in persistent
dynamic exchange.

 

**OBSERVATION 2**

The first such
effect has to do with the "response" characteristics of ground
currents. Tune to one of your stronger stations. While
listening, momentarily disconnect the ground wire. Notice the
sudden drop in volume and signal integrity. How long did this
volume diminution occur? Now reconnect the lead, while paying
close attention to the sound quality over time. How long did
the signal require in order to reach its original volume? I
have repeatedly observed that the disconnection volume drop is
rather instantaneous. But the reconnection volume requires a
much longer time, some 40 seconds in certain cases. The slow
restoration effect sometimes occurs in a discontinuous
fashion, first rising slowly (20 seconds), and then very
suddenly (3 seconds). The volume increase in this manner can
be both unexpected and surprising, often reaching volume
levels which actually exceed their original states.

 

You will find that
every local change in proximity to the circuitry of your
simple system will provoke the "restoration response". Signals
seem to lag each change which has been applied to the system.
The adjustment of the ground antenna will provoke the
response, a slow rise in volume occurring perhaps in 35
seconds after an adjustment has been made. As with the
response of living things, the ground receiving receiver
behaves as a quasi-biological entity; a poignant and
astonishing glimpse of Biodynamic behavior. Bio-organisms do
not behave in the manner of digital switches. But once signals
have been impacted by any electrical expression, ground
received signals will execute an exaggerated restoration. This
exaggerated response will be observed with every local
electrical disturbance. The mere activation of an appliance or
lamp will evoke the rapid diminution of any signal. But the
restoration phase can gradually increase in volume until it
overwhelms the listener, reaching excessive volumes. This
response is more than "withdrawal and restoration". Its
effects can persist long after the impact has occurred. Proper
placement of the ground antenna absolutely determines this
magnification effect, an observation made throughout the last
Century.

 

Provided the ground
"antenna" has been accurately placed in an "active spot", the
effect most notably occurs with any electrostatic discharge.
The first response is for the signal to "shrink", or
"withdraw". The ground signal gradually reemerges in strength,
but continues expanding beyond its normal volume, "flaring"
into distorted brilliance before settling down to its normal
volume. This amplification effect is not to be confused with
the commonly observed shortwave "fading" effect, and is the
direct result of disturbances which have occurred in proximity
to the system. These brilliant audio "flares" can persist for
upwards of ten seconds after the disturbance has passed,
followed by a very gradual decrease in volume to the original
signal strength. The flaring response was artificially
arranged and used in a great number of post-Victorian devices.

 

This biodynamic
response was used to magnify vital energies, and was evoked by
Turn of the Century systems through the use of pulsed
electrical disturbances. The highly intensified
quasi-electrical potentials, subsequently obtained, were used
to cure illness and light lamps. In other appropriate
instruments, such resultant currents were used to fulfill a
variety of other experimental functions. With the requisite
proper location of the ground terminal, the effect was
deliberately applied to the ground currents themselves (Tesla)
and to human patients (Abrams). While the results were often
spectacular to the senses, the latent effects were seldom
addressed.

 

We concur with those
select Radionists, who condemned the electrostimulation of
ground and vital currents as an inferior methodology. Such
methods may provide intriguing solutions to the need for
electrical power, but as that is a degenerate technology in
its own right, we have sought other means by which to fulfill
the utilitarian needs of humanity. The electrostimulation
methods provoke natural rage on an unappreciated scale, with
effects not recognized by all but the most astute observers.
It is a means of which we also highly disapprove. There are
indeed better and more naturally acceptable means by which to
evoke the growth and magnification response in ground
currents. One may romance the favors of Nature without the
methods which deliberately enrage her furious wrath.

 

**OBSERVATION 3**

There are other
effects one notices, especially when tuning faint stations
with ground antennas. It seems that tuned stations actually
become stronger in the act of being heard, a bizarre effect
requiring fine order readjustments. Indeed, continued
reception of faint stations evidence definite
auto-magnification effects. Obtained only through the use of
analogue (variable capacity) tuning systems, the tuning
process seemingly magnifies the strength of any faintly
received signal. One may thus begin with a signal "granule",
and end with a booming volume. Such entuned signal growth only
occurs with continued attentive reception, a remarkable
phenomenon in which receivers literally draw and automagnify
signals on demand of the listening site. This strange
connective "supply-response" function does not occur without
human agency however. In absence of the human "recipient", no
such amplification occurs, a curiosity which will find
numerous skeptics and critics. But try the experiment for
yourself.

 

Tune a weak station
and leave the room. The signal fades away. Walk in again and
quickly tune the signal. Walk away once more. The signal
fades. Once more, tune the signal and walk back from the
receiver. With very minor waverings, the signal strength will
remain unchanged...until you walk directly before the
receiver. Stay this time. Tune the signal and wait. You will
literally hear the signal gradually rising in volume. The
faint signal will gradually, almost perceptibly, grow in
strength for you as you remain in the room. Now tune the
signal carefully, rocking the dial to the left or right of
center. Each readjustment raises the signal strength, until
the volume is strong. Periodic minor adjustments will reveal a
remarkable volume magnification, one which can reach enormous
and fixed volume levels. This observation takes time and
patience. With such patience, one can thus literally obtain a
"signal bonfire" from a "signal spark". We have observed a
signal increase while attentions are being focussed on the
signal, with a subsequent complete fade back to faintness
after the recipients have been removed.

 

Why can you tune
such a weak station, periodically making "fine adjustments",
and obtain a signal magnification? Tuning a weak signal
through a ground antenna, and then observing the manner in
which that signal actually "grows" in strength for a human
recipient, is a demonstration of radionic significance. The
same has been observed when radionic currents are selected
through tuning instruments, and allowed to stimulate a
biomonitored plant. The results are always the same, plant
responses indicating the gradual increase of radionic current
strength. Unlike aerial currents, ground signals are more
intensely radionic in nature. They actively seek to infuse
appropriate bio-organismic "capacities". Ground currents enter
the receiver and are there entuned. The receiving circuit
projects an infusive and thready auric radiance which floods
the listening space until its natural saturation has been
reached.

 

Those who are in the
listening space add an additional absorptivity, a capacity to
allow a continued projection of auric emanations. This
continued projectivity into proximal recipients produces
several characteristic attributes. Recipients who possess an
innate desire, an emotional response for the signals, produce
sudden surges in the reception strength. When attention is
strongly focussed on some faint signal, then it will grow. The
ground emerging signals will therefore intensify for you and
those with you in a room, pouring into the listening space and
being thus articulated among human "capacities". As radio
signals are loaded with the articulation of human attention,
the signal will grow more rapidly. It has recently been
observed that the very same signal, when later left
unattended, will fade back into the crashing background.
Desirous attempts made to relocate and raise the same signal
are not unsuccessful. The absence of appropriate numbers in
the human recipients will modify the rapidity of signal
growth. The humanly guided tuning process which engages such
signals actually entunes the recipients in a radionic manner.

 

The refinement and
entunement of such signals are very obviously a radionic
phenomenon of the deepest significance. Entuned magnification
effects are therefore radionic entunement effects, the
magnification of human articulations by human recipients.
Neither electrical nor radio currents possess the articulate
nature capable of exhibiting such a detailed biodynamic
function. We have previously demonstrated this phenomenon with
biomonitored plants, an effect which experimenters may easily
reproduce. The implications of this strange effect are
enormous for the theoretician. They compel the examination of
every notion of radiosignal causality. The only researcher who
has treated this effect is Eric Dollard, whose excellent work
describes "energy reciprocation" between Tesla impulse
transmitters and receivers.

 

The fact that
signals may be drawn from ground on human demand, and
automagnified by human presence, should provoke heated debate.
How can one explain the veritable control of a distant
transmitter by a small receiver? In a biodynamic sense, we are
not required to address distant transmitters, since ground
currents automagnify with regularity. The additional energy
which feeds radionically entuned and capacity-demanded ground
signals is sourced within the great subterranean depths.

 

**OBSERVATION 4**

You will notice
that, soon after you have first introduced the pipe into the
ground, your first received stations will begin to "grow" in
strength. This effect will continue for days, growing in
increments of strength and clarity. Fixed volumes begin to
reach levelled states in 2 or 3 days, a growth process
uncommon with aerial signals. But beyond the signal growth of
the strong stations, one begins observing the gradual increase
in station numbers with time. Your initially strong stations,
those which grew in the course of 3 days, will now become
interspersed by a great population of faint signals. This
"background" population will then increase in magnitude and
clarity until your sweep dial is filled with an immense
"crackling". By day 4 or 5 with this arrangement, my sweep
dial was literally covered with the continual "crackle" of new
signals.

 

Sweeping the dial
will thus continually bring in tiny signal "granules" between
the stronger signals, those which normally mask these almost
imperceptible stations. The gradual appearance of new
stations, and the gradual "arrival" of a great many minor
signals, begins manifesting with time. The buried pipe becomes
a "receptive site", into which the upwelling currents actively
pour. These effects were rediscovered when buried metals began
producing their characteristic "tone signatures". A singularly
fascinating study, we found that each buried metal literally
became "saturated" with ground currents. This saturation
process also required a gradual period of time (*Earth Tones*
audio tape, BSRF).

 

Because of the slow
growth process, where stations grow in both strength and
number with time, one must eventually secure a larger
"capacity" receiver. One learns that shortwave radionic
applications need specific and well designed receivers a *of
the vacuum tube type or germanium transistor variety*.
Many of the newer digital models are insufficient. Through a
gradual familiarity with numerous models, each experimenter
will settle upon the use of one or two particular favorites.
Mr. William Lehr rebuilt a Zenith Trans-Oceanic for me. It is
a receiver which I cherish, not only because of its wonderful
"warm" tone and excellent operation with the ground antenna,
but because he rebuilt it for me personally. The popular set
is equipped with small screw terminals, one for the normal
onboard telescoping antenna, and the other for a ground wire.
I disengaged the onboard telescoping antenna, connecting its
internal lead wire instead to the ground screw. The ground
antenna was then connected to the aerial screw.

 

In this reversal,
the receiver recognizes the ground antenna as the "aerial",
while the collapsible onboard antenna is recognized as the
"ground". This "inversion" of radio inputs more effectively
works the shortwave capacity in absorbing ground emerging
signals, the collapsible aerial becoming a miniature
"counterpoise" ground. A great many separate phenomena are
noted with this arrangement, one pioneered by Nikola Tesla and
(most recently) explored in greatest depth by Mr. Eric
Dollard. Touching the telescoping "ground" causes the complete
eradication of signal strengths across the dial, the
withdrawal of this touch causing the characteristic slow
return to original volume. One discovers now the necessity of
adjusting the telescopic "ground" with each tuned station, a
means by which increased "room capacity" is achieved. The
telescopic "ground" facilitates an increased connectivity
within the volume of space surrounding the receiver.

 

**OBSERVATION 5**

With persistent
saturation, your ground pipe antenna will continue producing a
surprising proliferation of signals. In this growing manner,
signals kept appearing from greater and greater distances.
Understand that the reception of foreign signals through the
ground matrix is completely different from that which
presupposes the downward "skybeaming" of signals. With ground
reception there is no "skipping". Ground reception is the
result of direct contact conduction. Signals have to travel
from their sources to you...in straight lines! You may
therefore understand that the most weak and distant stations,
those innumerable transmitters which lie in the "geography
between" yourself and certain strong foreign stations, will
begin to make their appearance. A slow growth period will
prove this effect to you.

 

But the loss of
signal population, when the pipe is retracted for a few
minutes, cannot be comprehended unless we further examine the
"signal accretion" phenomenon. The acquisition of new stations
into a ground antenna occurs throughout the day, regardless of
the weather or time. The Radionists who studied these
phenomena recognized that ground emerging signals actively
seek out both ground-proximal metals as well as those which
are actually buried. Ground currents can rise to the surface
when metal probes are simply aimed toward the ground. It has
been observed that the mere positioning of a blunt-ended cable
over ground is sufficient to cause an upward flow of ground
currents, a reception of signals being obtained (Theroux).

 

The process is one
by which ground currents literally "attach" themselves to the
downward pointing conductor, entwining and fixating themselves
through time. If this is true for conductors which merely
point into earth, the same is especially true of metalloforms
which have been buried. The upwelling emergence of ground
currents is the result of the pipe itself, a response to a
metal body which has been buried near the surface. The ground
antenna behaves as a very definitive metallic "attractor".
Driven down into a few feet of earth, metal structures
literally attract ground currents from their deeply consigned
pathways upward. The process of attraction and accretion
requires time. This explains why signal strengths begin to
grow when buried terminals are first buried, continuing until
the pipe and receiver have reached their capacity to absorb.

 

The withdrawal of
signals, after the pipe has been momentarily disturbed, is
problematic from every electrical point of view. What
principle can be cited in explanation of this remarkable
signal disappearing act? What causes the signals to "shrink
away" from the ground terminal when its growing potential has
been disturbed for a few moments of inspection? This
"disengagement phenomenon", the striking disappearance of
signals, compels the recognition of an "irritability" factor
when dealing with ground currents. Irritability is a
biological characteristic not present in electrical currents.
What have these signals to do with biological activities?
Wishing to address those skeptics who cannot accept this
energetic growth characteristic in grounded terminals, I
pulled up the pipe to better inspect its surface. Fully
expecting to find the metal "pitted" in thousands of tiny
corrosion points", the probable points in which the
innumerable signals appeared, I was not a small bit shocked to
find the pipe in excellent condition. There was not a bit of
visible corrosion, certainly no pitting or scarring in the
otherwise brilliant sheen which it had when I pounded it down
into the earth. But the mystery did not stop there.

 

I placed the pipe
back into a new location, adjacent to its original ground
chamber. Thus driven down to the exact depth as it had been
before, I went inside to listen once again. All but the
strongest signals had disappeared. Obviously, the
multiplication of signals is not the result of corrosion, not
the result of continued ground "electrolysis". While "pitting"
the pipe exterior with innumerable exposures will increase the
effective conductive surface of any pipe to an amazing degree,
such corrosion will play little part in the actual increase of
signal receptivity. In fact, neither ground antennas nor earth
batteries corrode; a perplexing fact which we have
rediscovered long after Nathan Stubblefield made its first
mentioned.

 

 **OBSERVATION
6**

Deep fades are never
heard with ground antennas, but one does observe sudden
"sweeps" which indicate strange and instantaneous ground
disturbances. These do not disturb station reception,
certainly not distorting or destabilizing the actual signals
being received. Using ground antennas, only a very slow
wavering is sometimes observed. These exceedingly slow
waverings occur with no clocklike regularity, suggesting that
true biological pulsations are being observed. Such
exhibitions were once referred to me by Dan Winter as the deep
earth "tides", meaning by this that the biodynamic currents
clearly engage in native pulsations. Since we have never
glimpsed those currents of enormous vital potential, those
"dragons" which normally reside deep in the heart of earth.
These currents are definitely modified by influences in outer
space, rising toward the surface during certain seasons, and
diving back down to their mysterious haunts once again.

 

During
sun-transitional hours, ground received SW signals do not
appear to be "geodesically" selected. In other words, one does
not receive a complete "global sweep" of signals, from nation
to nation. The "sweep" may display continuity across a large
region of ground, a cluster of neighboring nations being heard
in sequence, but each region is not received with continuity.
One discovers that whole regions of the earth suddenly emerge
from the SW background and literally predominate the reception
field.

 

Selectivity of
signals through the ground occurs as if whole regions of the
world have been "switched" on and off a independant of station
schedules. Directly and most strongly related to lunar phase,
one observes the sudden emergence of whole regional group
signals which take preeminence over all others. One can tell
the portion of a lunar month by these strange regional
"fluorescences", an amazingly repetitive pattern. In Staten
Island, ground radiosignals follow a mysterious pattern of
arrivals. Modulated by the moon, signals from Canada (New),
Northern Europe (First Quarter), South America (Full), the
Mediterranean (Last Quarter) will predominate across the
available broadcast bands.

 

 **EXPERIMENT
WITH the "Subantenna" coil** (M. Theroux)

The "Subantenna"
coil will require a bit more work on the part of the
experimenter to construct, but is a worthy undertaking as we
can see from the ad that this design was a commercial success.
It has also proven itself over and above simple grounded rods,
to be a highly sensitive receiver when properly placed in the
ground. Its construction is actually quite simple. You will
need roughly 30 feet of RG 58 coaxial cable, one roll of black
electrical tape, one alligator clip, a pair of scissors, and a
pair of wire strippers. The "Subantenna" coil, when finished
will be about 4-5 inches tall and 6 inches in diameter. Start
by cutting the wire into two sections a one 16 feet long for
the coil a the remaining 14 feet will be used for connection
to your radio. Begin winding the first turn of the coil (using
the 16 ft. section) so that it is exactly 6 inches in
diameter. No coil form is necessary with this method a as you
add each successive turn, you will be taping the turns
together in three evenly separated places. Add another turn
and tape. By the time you are finished, you will have about
ten full turns. Cover the bottom bare end of the coax wire
with tape. You should have about 6 inches of free wire at the
top of your coil. Strip away about 1 inch from this end
exposing the middle conductor wire. This solid wire is the
"connection point" for the lead wire to your external antenna
jack on your shortwave or AM radio. Cut away the excess
shielding so that it is flush with the insulation. You are now
ready to bury the "Subantenna" coil. Choose a spot of soft
ground free from hazard, and bury the coil (be sure your
"connection point" is sticking above ground or youall be
digging it up again). Fasten the alligator clip to one end of
the remaining 14 ft. piece of coax, clipping this onto the
exposed middle conductor of the coil. You can now run this
wire to your radio, fastening it to the external antenna
terminal. If there is a specific jack for the external
antenna, you may need to match it with the proper plug.

**Observations**

 

Initially, one will
notice a substantial increase in reception. The mos3t
intriguing aspect of the Subantenna, or any grounded aerial,
is its ability to cause signals to grow in intensity over a
period of a time. After a few days one will be able to hear
signals with increased clarity and depth. One of the most
important features of this ground antenna is its static free
reception. You will note that the conductor in the coil is
insulated from the actual earth itself a conductivity plays no
role in the function of this design. While the Subantenna coil
filters static and brings in signals with extreme
distinctness, there are drawbacks. One may notice after the
coil has had sufficient time to become saturated with ground
currents, reception of signals becomes so powerful that
stations normally considered far enough apart, will "bleed
over" onto one another. I have experienced five distinct
stations hundreds of miles apart, pouring through the radio on
one frequency at the same time. This can be a problem with
weaker local stations being absorbed by more powerful distant
stations, but generally the 50,000 watt AM stations ring
through clearly. Only on given nights does this bleed over
occur.

 

The warmth, clarity,
response, and strength of such grounded radio systems are
testimony enough. Coupled with the empirical reports and logs
previously mentioned, plenty of proof is provided that, in
many instances (especially concerning eidetic content), ground
radio is a superior form of reception over Hertzian receivers.
Curiously enough, we have seen many return to their antennas
after having experienced radio through the ground. While no
explanation is given, we assume they may need to hold on to
the belief that radio only flies on waves through the air a
all the while listening to the crackle, hiss, and fade of
their favorite station.3

**An Introduction to the
Mysteries of Ground Radio****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.  
  
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.  
  
**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.  
  
**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, a
means 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.  
  
**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 Marconias
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?  
  
With the installation of multiple Marconi Transatlantic
Stations, it quickly became known that transoceanic VLF
magnification phenomena were only obtained when signals were
launched along highly specific "launch paths". Conformity with
these "launch paths" produced undistorted signals of
unexpected great power and presence. VLF signals which were
not applied to the special launchpaths, were simply lost in
transit. The Marconi World Radio Circuit relied these very
obvious environmental controls, but it was quite impossible
for engineers to follow the exact pathways of these suboceanic
signals. It was first thought that the phenomenon had much to
do with the submarine ground itself. By assuming the existence
of special highly conductive marine geostrata, it was imagined
that a simple geological survey could codify the selection of
Marconi Station sites.  
  
But no such geological formula or pattern was ever found, to
the great consternation of engineers and theoreticians alike.
Directed along identical suboceanic geostrata, the very same
VLF signals encountered unexpected and unexplained high signal
resistivity; a frightful realization for those whose labor was
expended in the building of several Marconi Stations. What was
the strange "absorptive potential" by which a launched signal
could simply be drawn across a specific launchpath? If not in
the material strata of submarine geology, where then was this
mysterious "absorptive potential" contained?  
  
Several sites were quietly abandoned by the Marconi Company,
the matter being privately considered for very obvious
business reasons. The prospect of statistical failure in the
"scientific" selection of VLF launchpaths displeased Marconi
greatly. The use of dowsing methods would be very "bad for
business" if the fact became known to the scientific community
at large. These factors eventually drove Marconi deeper into a
study of shortwave aerial phenomena. Other radio station
engineers found it necessary to select station sites through
"alternative" or "geomantic" means. This renewed awareness of
geomantic energy, as well as the role of special points and
pathways in effecting long distance communications, provoked a
hostile and derisive reaction among conventional engineers.  
  
**SHORTWAVES**  
  
The advent of shortwave radio systems however, produced
intriguing anomalies, which found neither immediate
theoretical models nor solutions. Unable to account for the
divergent signal strengths noted between separate aerial or
ground contacts, fact-finding empirical research was again
engaged. The models which theoreticians developed postulated
that a loosely linked "skywave" and "groundwave" were
responsible for the anomalous reception effects. In this
analysis of waveradio transmitters, a conduction wavesignal
"through the ground" was selectively either neutralized or
intensified by an aerial signal "through the sky" (Breit and
Tuve).  
  
With the newly discovered ionized atmospheric layer neatly
providing "skipping" reflectivity for transmissions, the model
was complete. Accordingly, the proper phasing of skipped
skywaves and groundwaves produced resultant signals of unusual
strength. Improper phasing produced received signals were weak
or even absent. It was then easy to comprehend the varying
nature of shortwave signals whenever encountered. One could
find reasonable explanation for variable signal strengths
throughout the day, month, and year. "Skipping" skywaves met
with continuous groundwaves to produce all of the observed
signal receptions. Phase shifting explained all of these
variations. Or did it?  
  
The use of very long, close-ground antennas was early
implemented by those who sought the development of special
aerial-ground hybrid antennas. The "double ground" aerial
employed an elevated line with grounded ends. This format was
limited by its orientation requirements, often acting as an
excellent directional detector of distant stations. Extremely
low aerials were developed and used in 1911 (Kiebitz), often
extending to nearly 1000 feet in length and being poised to
within a yard of ground level. In 1918, a similar system (A.
Hall) placed 2700 feet of insulated cable along the ground
surface, and claimed excellent reception characteristics.  
  
The famed "Beverage Antenna" (patent 1,381,089), was the
result of experiments with several thousand straight feet of
wiring on tall insulating posts, a design which attracted the
fortune-aimed attentions of RCA. Wishing to break the existing
market on special beam aerials, this design formed the means
by which Marconi monopolies on the "bent-L" aerials were
broken. The receptive clarity of this design increased with
proximity to ground. RCA could not infringe on the Rogers
designs, or those of others, whose buried ground antennas
produced better signal strength.  
  
These horizon-hugging aerials provoked controversy because of
their supposed necessary "management" of a mixed sky and
ground wave complex. Experiment proved that increasing
elevations of the Beverage Antenna resulted in a pure and
noisy skywave signal, with the greatest signal intensities
being derived with the line placed as close to ground surface
as possible. In some cases, these ground-parallel aerials were
poised on insulators 12 foot or less for best effect. Being
the design which represents the theoretical midpoint, between
the buried Rogers dipole and the Marconi "bent-L", the
Beverage Antenna reveals that ground currents and ground
signals are indeed distinct in origin and species. These
results helped to convince many that the proposed
"nearzone-farzone" radio principles were absolutely mistaken.
In fact, a special theory was developed to "explain" the
superior operation of the Beverage Aerial. [All of these
patents and articles are found in Vril Compendium Volumes 9
and 10].  
  
A great many popular radio magazine articles were devoted to
the unusual reception of signals through the ground alone
(Volume 8, Vril Compendium). To the amateur experimenters of
the time, it was all too apparent that the theoretical
assessments lacked reality. Those who studied radio
propagation phenomena for military applications could not
account for the fact that far too powerful ground signals
continued with increasing range from their sourcepoint. By
comparison, their aerial signal counterparts were far too
weakened by the journey. Experimenters found that the
"skywave-groundwave" model did not explain the continued
magnification of signals "received through the ground". When
compared to signals "received through the air", the ground
signals were persistently more powerful, and far less eroded
by static.  
  
Of the many energetic interactions occurring in and among
spark discharges, Hertz chose but two for analysis (1887).
Convention has agreeably restricted its considerations to the
same, affirming that only two fields of influence make
themselves manifest at close distances from a spark. The
induction field, and the "radiowave field". Induction field
effects rapidly fall away with the inverse square of distance
from a spark center. The "true radio energy" is that wave
energy which loses intensity with the inverse distance from a
spark center. This difference of intensity with distance from
the spark center defines the radiofield. Radio texts described
the "nearzone" (induction field) and the "farzone"
(radiofield). Patent examiners used this model to eliminate
all but the Marconi claims for wireless transmission of
signals, a tragic reduction. Far more important demonstrations
proved the superiority of geomantic radio principles. Certain
highly qualified experimenters disagreed with the simplistic
Hertzian view, and contradicted the views of a growing
mainstream (Stubblefield, Tesla, Massey, Moray).  
  
Some thought that the induction field was the source of the
unusual ground signals, the electrostatic influence which
induced electron oscillations in the rock immediately beneath
transmitter towers. Much improved ground configurations were
thought to provide additional power to these relatively weak
induction oscillations. Large area copper screens or grids
were pre-buried long before transmitting towers or aerials
were erected. These conductive screens extended outward from
the central transmitting axis for several hundred yards in
some instances. Thus directly applied, ground currents were
given enormous impulse, a possible reason for the strong and
predominating reception of local stations in neighborhood
receivers. Theoretically, these induction sources were
incapable of propagating beyond one quarter of a wavelength
from their tower centers. Deep VLF ground currents of 10
kilocycles were therefore not to be received beyond 15
kilometers from their source. The transmission of 3 megacycle
signals would, according to these expectations, produce ground
currents undetected beyond 250 feet from their source.  
  
These "nearzone-farzone" models did not explain the true
signal strength received through ground antennas. Why for
example, could VLF signals be received from distances much
further than 10,000 miles from their aerial gantries? Why were
shortwave signals routinely received from distances surpassing
15,000 miles? Nevertheless, the ground antenna made such
signal reception possible. One may yet demonstrate these
dynamics with rudimentary ground rod antennas, a technique
which will shortly be described. The "nearzone-farzone" model
does not explain why VLF signals are only received along
specific constrictive paths, a mystery which deepens when it
is realized that such conductive ground paths are never found
along strictly geodesic sections. Field distribution
experiments show the meandering nature of VLF signals across
regions of ground, a fact which correlates their
much-amplified propagation with geomantic current paths.  
  
There were, in addition, several remarkable reversals of these
same theoretical expectations. Why, across certain locales,
was it impossible to receive the powerful shortwave
transmissions of a station some several hundred yards away in
plain sight? "Radio blindspots" could not be explained on the
basis of earth conductivity or geophysical characteristics
alone. These glaring propagation discrepancies posed neither
problem nor threat to the empirical researchers, who
formulated their own naturally accurate models. The anomalous
"blindspots" and "freak transmissions" which the routinely
observed, were exceptions to the theoretical models. Such
notable and unexplainable instances, while continuing to
plague the modelmakers, provoked far too little academic
interest (Hollingworth, Quack).  
  
This experimental example offered a most startling clue to the
mode of transmission actually responsible for the operation of
buried antenna designs. The "skywave-groundwave" model
presupposes that a singular radiosource will produce a
singular radiating wave, half of the wave propagating through
an aerial route, the other half being immersed in ground.
Passage through the atmospheric route gathers static
signatures and other distortions which are supposedly induced
throughout the wavefront. This aerial noise is transferred and
distributed throughout the advancing wavefront. Being
absolutely tied to its aerial portion, the ground wave of any
signal must therefore contain each acquired noise signature.
The same holds true when the ground signal acquires static and
distortions along its earthen propagation path. Then, the
aerial portion receives new static signatures as a coequal
distribution from the ground up. But all too many occasions
prove the absolute contradiction of this model, and ground
antennas provided the incontrovertible evidence.  
  
Buried terminals gave the clearest proof that aerial signals
and ground signals were of completely different origin, those
of the ground having the most obvious source in a powerful
autodynamic matrix. Aerial waves were so obviously dissolved
and "digested" in transit from their distant sources, while
ground currents often demonstrated anomalous intensification
in transit. It was furthermore quite obvious that electrical
currents were not responsible for the ground currents beyond
the theoretical quarterwave limits. Signals received through
the ground were clarified and strong, even when aerial
sampling proved that there should be only a static "hiss".
Experiments have shown that the sometimes "wavering" behavior
of ground received signals are the result of completely
different origins, a dynamic response to completely distinct
causes.  
  
Added articulate dimensions made their appearance in a regime
of improved ground antennas. Some designs employed chemical
saturations to produce greatly clarified and intensified
signals. The revolutionary approach began as a chemical
treatment to existing ground terminals, a treatment giving
superior empirical results. Chemically treated terminals
brought a complete eradication of static. The chemical of
choice for these "treatments" was copper sulfate, the watery
solution being liberally poured upon the buried terminal until
the soil became a slurry. Allowed to dry out, these terminals
displayed their enormously improved outputs. In other such
experimental arrangements, copper sulfate solution was placed
in a large porous cup. Contact was made with the solution with
a metal rod. This design completely eliminated common static
and other crackling noises, a significant improvement which
also provided new insight into the nature of ground signals
themselves.  
  
The performances of chemically treated ground antennas was not
well comprehended, it being simply assumed that the
earth-permeating solutions projected a conductive horizon
beyond the antenna itself. Poured into the ground and allowed
to dry in situ, such solutions were thought to extend a
wonderfully articulate matrix of "fingerlets" beyond the
metallic antenna framework. Crystalline, complex, and replete
with dendritic projections, such arrangements became awoven
into the earth". How did such an underground crystalline
complex manage to multiply signal conductivity, while
depressing all of the expected levels of static? Ensheathing
the metallic framework, the crystallized solution represented
a non-conductive envelope. How conductive was the crystallized
"matrix" at all? Electrically unresponsive in its dried
crystalline form, any such copper sulfate sheath should have
blocked the entrance of all purely electrical currents. What
carrier was then delivering its obviously improved signals?  
  
This case study was completely corroborated in the simpler
instance of an insulator-ensheathed copper rod, where
clarified signals of great strength continued to be received
in obvious absence of the electrical carriers (Lehr, Theroux).
Examples such as these actually challenge common notions
concerning the nature of ground signals, obviously not the
result of electrical waves at all. When compared with the
accompanying aerial signals, a contradiction in theoretical
prediction was obtained. Aerial signals would prove to be
replete with static signatures. Were the skywave and
groundwave each coequals, linked energetic expulsions from a
common source, then each should have delivered the identical
static events. But the addition of chemical solutions to the
ground amplified and clarified the incoming signals, proving
that ground signals are of an entirely different class and
species of signal...having nothing to do with their aerial
mirror-partners. How then did the addition of an electrically
non-conductive crystalline matrix actually produce better
reception through the ground antenna?  
  
**BIODYNAMIC INTERACTION**  
  
The exchange between electrical signals and geomantic currents
produced remarkable transformations, energy exchanges yet
requiring exhaustive study. The manner in which articulate
messages actively relate with their electrical carriers is
improperly understood. In the biodynamic model, intelligent
expressions constrict toward the center core of their carrier
streams, becoming a tight thready current. The electrical
carrier streams themselves expand away from this central
thready core, losing integrity with distance. It was well
known that certain geomantically densified regions were
notorious eradicators of electrical signals, the legendary
"blindspots" which characterized certain subequatorial
districts. In these biologically active zones, where jungle
growth was most highly accelerated, radio signals encountered
impossible distortions and indefinable interruptive
influences.  
  
The significant distinctions of ground-derived currents from
electrostatic or electrical currents required analytical
methods not willingly engaged by the convention. Nevertheless,
the incursions of unknown or forgotten energy strata refused
to disappear. These manifestations, which became complicated
with electrical applications, made their presence continually
known. These pure geomantic currents possessed distinctly
biological attributes of catabolic growth. Geomantic energy
perpetually overpowered and dissolved every electrical
application into the ground (catabolic reaction), while
automagnifying its own potential (growth behavior) against the
invasive electricity (immune response). In this process,
communications signals were very apparently amplified. The
bizarre amplifications most occurred when signals traversed
regions of high geomantic current densities. This is why so
many experimenters observed the topographically determined
signal magnifications across specific locales.  
  
In 1904, one experimenter rediscovered that the bioactivity of
thriving trees can provide an astounding source of
radiosignals, a method referred to as "floraphony". When
connected to specific spots on tree trunks, the use of a
simple nail probe resulted in the anomalous powerful reception
of radiosignals from 18,000 miles distance (Squier). Indeed,
the interactive relationship between electrical and geomantic
energies has remained singularly mysterious. For those who do
not comprehend the fundamental differences and distinctions
between the energies involved, only the futile shuffling and
reshuffling of the "four forces" remains: an academic card
game which, very unfortunately, will never produce a
completely satisfying explanation. The associated list of
anomalies continues to assert its presence, one which manages
to topple the house of cards with every new deal.  
  
The general social lack of sensitivity to bioenergies has
contributed to the malaise of the scientific research
community, a malaise which motivated Eighteenth Century
experimenters to forsake their roots in Vitalism. The
unfortunate consequent fixation on the discovery of currents
and energetic influences, abnormal to the bionatural
environment, has enslaved civilized humanity to an inferior
technology, a degenerate mindstate, and a completely
irrelevant world model. The interaction between geomantic and
electrostatic current is the result of antagonism between two
completely opposed species. Geomantic currents are far more
powerful in their technological potentials, an energetic
foundation which sensitives have long anticipated. The
accumulation of phenomena, by which geomantic energies are
transformed into the utilitarian needs of our world, are all
that is lacking in this regard.  
  
By far not confined to qualitative methods, geomantic energy
was quantitatively found to be possessed of biological
characteristics not normally attributed to either
electrostatic fields or electrical currents. From archane
times, geomantic currents were known to flow through the
ground in meandering pathways. The geomantic matching of large
VLF aerials became common practice for the launching of
signals along the mysterious magnifying paths, paths which
meandered and "wandered" across continental topographies. The
veinlike "woivres", formerly identified and mapped by medieval
geomancers, were associated with uncertain geophysical
associations (Charpentier).  
  
Direct connection with aerial, elemental, and ground-sourced
energies produced a wide range of otherwise unexplained
effects. These effects were repeatedly reproduced in apparatus
requiring only monopolar ground terminals and variable tuning
capacitors. The discoveries made by the Chemical Telegraph
proved that the ground emergent energy actively organizes the
chaos of sensitive emulsions into distinct patterns. These
mystifying patterns and hunting fragmentary messages, revealed
the literal "dark structure" of the ground, a structure which
completely dominated every ground-launched electrical signal.
The geomantic structure ruled and governed every wired,
ground-wired, or radio signal which electrotechnology had
applied to the ground. Signals were shunted, interrupted,
magnified, reduced, constricted, redirected, divided, and
recombined as each encountered the geomantic structure. The
distinctly biological nature of the geomantic structure was
thus clearly revealed. It is the same structure which ancient
geomancers saw in the pure mode, a radiant and
multicrystalline form which permeates and sustains the
geological matter of earth. Fluidic streams form the facets of
this black radiant structure, the "geomantic" currents of
which we have spoken.  
  
Explorations of the pure geomantic energies required very
simple equipment. Researchers found it possible to extract
enormously potent geomantic currents. Employing little more
than a grounded rod or plate, and in the complete absence of
additional (electrical) energy, geomantic energy was drawn up
to the surface and selectively entuned. The grounded
instruments used in these wonderful explorations were the
simple and familiar diagnostic tools of the telegraphic and
telephonic engineers: Wheatstone Bridges, decade resistors,
and variable capacitance batteries. The strange and cyclic
activation of chemical telegraphs was tested and proven, the
results mystifying. When these components were connected to
one or more buried plates, the apparatus became strangely
charged with a neutral energy. The Patent Archive is
pleasantly "interrupted" with the occasional exceptions
provided by these research purists, who insisted that
geomantic potentials were far more potent and capable than
electrical energy.  
  
Those ground-oriented systems, which derive their operative
energy directly from articulate environment, have
experimentally proven their worth. Reproductions of a great
many such devices has produced the surprising success by which
we have experienced a personal Scientific Renaissance.
Geomantic energy is capable of marking sensitive chemical
papers and plates (Bain, Edison), of stimulating auric
emissions from elements and chemicals (Reichenbach), of
marking photographic plates (Dobler), of stimulating plant
growth (White), of vivifying otherwise incapacitated patients
(Abrams), of impressing and modifying sensitive
crystallization processes (Kolisko), is able to seek and
reveal deeply buried ore bodies (Drown, Rogers), and is
capable of more astounding displays. Its preeminent potentials
dwarf those achieved through the use of electrical charge.  
  
Demonstrating a distinct bioaffinity, geomantic currents
evidence selective preference for biological matter and for
bioorganisms (White, Abrams, Lahovsky). Possessing articulate
"behavior", whose definition exceeds that crude behavior of
electrical currents, geomantic currents are able to
selectively seek and locate specific widely distributed tuning
targets with complete precision. Non-inertial, and
characterized by innate properties which may only be termed
"biological", geomantic currents represent an energetic
stratum at the most fundamental level. The world foundation.
Was it any wonder that ground antennas performed in excess of
all the electrodynamic predictions?  
  
**RADIONIC GROUND ENTUNEMENT**  
  
Discovered during the years when the communications sciences
of Telegraphy, Telephony, Conduction Wireless, and Aerial
Wireless were being developed, the isolation and
implementation of Geomantic Energy has founded the core of a
new Science. Having thoroughly accepted the objective
existence of Geomantic Currents, the Radionists extended the
known list of attributes and potentials germane to these
energetic species. Radionists developed instruments, methods,
and technologies beyond the expected conventional limits.  
  
Their diagnostic instruments become recognized as "tuners" or
"filters" of the geomantic currents. With refined entunement
components, the effects became more pronounced and defined.
The now familiar use of resistance or capacitance bridges in
Radionic Technology has not been significantly changed since
the days of telegraph line diagnostic instruments. Considered
to be "electrically dead" by other academes, and therefore
supposedly incapable of dynamic activity, the diagnostic
apparatus of Radionists were derided by those who refused the
acceptance of vitalistic energy on conditions of personal
prejudice alone. But the natural phenomenon defied the edicts
of those who refused to know. Radionically entuned radio
receivers became enormously powerful sites into which
impossibly distant signals of exceedingly weak intensities
simply pour. To experience the numerous phenomena typical for
reception through ground antennas is to experience the
technically "impossible".  
  
Utilized in a great variety of investigative purposes, the
acquisition of geomantic energies was fortunately chronicled
in a great number of patents and articles. Radionists
discovered that Geomantic energy is neutral, being possessed
of an ability to modify and organize chemically chaotic
systems (Littlefield, Morley-Martin, Kolisko). Pure geomantic
energy articulates and transforms mineral solutions into
prebiological organizations (Crosse, Bastian, Reich). The
characteristic which draws geomantic currents into
bioorganisms has been explored for use as a therapeutic
stimulant (White, Drown). Greatly increased vitality is the
result of exposures to these ground derived currents, an
echoing reminder of truths early discovered by Mesmer and
Galvani.  
  
Ground derived energies were used in demonstration of
agricultural stimulation (White, Lakhovsky), sensitive medical
diagnosis (White, Abrams, Hieronymus), medical therapies
(White, Mellon, Drown), anatomical scanning (Drown, DelaWarr),
wireless biological communications (Abrams, Hieronymus,
Drown), chemical reactivity (Kolisko), power acquisition
(Stubblefield, Strong, Brown, Tomkins, Lockwood, Prentice),
meteorological modification (Baigorri), remote sensing and
surveying (Beasse, Glazewski, Billington, Ash, Rogers, Moray,
Maby, Drown), and mineral prospecting (Beasse, Rogers, Drown).
Despite these profound discoveries, the widescale acceptance
of geomantic energy or geomantic phenomena was methodically
shunned and eliminated from the academic dogma.  
  
Despite the vindictive treatment, that displayed in the
purgative fury of several national agencies, the legendary
Radionists developed a wondrous new technology which yet holds
the future survival of humanity. This superlative Radionic
Technology, capable of stimulating and engaging the very
deepest of human potentials, has neither been glimpsed or
considered since Medieval times. In the secrets of Radionic
Science are the means by which the very deepest dreams and
desires of humanity find technological expression.
Implementing pure geomantic energies, Radionic
Instrumentalities operate at the very level from which dreams
and desires emerge.  
  
With the energies obtained up from the ground, we have
discovered a sequence of distinct, irreducible, and articulate
attributes, to which both our thoughts and efforts have been
continually directed. The all too numerous experiments which
Borderland Sciences researchers have conducted remain forever
framed in this biodynamic perspective. With each attempt at
duplicating the supposed fraudulent claims of our
qualitatively inclined predecessors, we continue to rediscover
spectacular anomalies. Providing us with a continual stream of
scientific epiphanies, we have enjoyed remarkable success.
Moving in and among such strange scientific topics, you may
also venture among deep roadways untravelled by most. In
truth, these deepest of studies prove the existence of a
superlative visionary world-reality, one whose thralldom
society must again admit.  
  
Coupled with the most elementary of ground antennas, any
ordinary shortwave receiver becomes a powerful diagnostic
tool. With very simple equipment, one obtains a glowing window
on the innermost world processes whose biodynamic activities
rule our very being. The diagnostic use of ground radio
antennas, has permitted the acquisition of wonderful and
mind-elevating secrets. One continually learns the lost
details inherent in our throbbing world. The geomantic
structure, whose pulsing streams and ebbing tides govern our
consciousness, is suddenly revealed through the turn of a
radio dial. Unreconciled audio "observations" provide
compelling evidence that ours is a world alive, whose
meandering flowlines display both emotive reactions and
intelligent behavior. Careful interpretation of ground radio
phenomena has permitted us to add new details to the
evergrowing biodynamic world thesis.  
  
Indeed, with every experiment we have performed, there is a
vast and oceanic flood of new facts and equally new
associations. It is with these revelations we find ourselves
wonderfully occupied. Now comprising a formidable and growing
treasury, we recognize that the duplication of such past
methodologies well serves our willingness to seek.
Ground-connected shortwave receivers are radionic interaction
chambers, where pure geomantic power meets with electricity.
Employing the receiver components as surreptitious radionic
instruments, we have found an astounding sequence of
corroborative facts in a singular theme.
