I have been talking to another Amatuer Radio Operator on 1853.5 KC for 25 years using Single Sideband so I know from first hand experience what makes a good LF antenna.
The ground antenna does not work as good at the upper end where I work(L.F.). Ground Antennas work good below 50KC. Make sure you space your ground rods as far from pole to pole as you plan to walk around.

Hi Randy,
If a person wanted to build a ground antenna to operate at 30 KHz, what actual hardware materials and sizes do you recommend he should he use for this antenna?
Would the apparatus for a treasure hunter's portable field antenna be significantly different than what you would recommend for a permanent installation used in communications?
Best wishes,
