  • Abstract
    Field patterns of a VHF directional antenna submerged in a lake are shown with the receiver both under and over the surface of the water. The measured relative strength of the electric field as a function of the radial distance from the source is also shown. The rate of decrease with distance of the radial component of the field in the water agrees with theoretical predictions.
