I certainly never claimed my results to be "scientific". I had the meter set on negative ions, don't even recall if I zeroed it first, don't think I did. Didn't ground it , either. Had the air intake close to the capacitor probably a couple inches max. There was definitely a time lag as I adjusted the cap. The readings were around 700 until it would spike over 1000 just a very narrow bandwidth. Ran the tuner back and forth several times just to be relatively certain it wasn't some fluke. I see they make antenna analyzers that can find the resonant frequency of the antenna, but I just used an AM radio to see where the antenna had been tuned. BTW, I could feel it when the antenna was tuned to that station.
