I have a small multimeter & I thought one lead grounded & the other as an
aerial? Just thinking out loud. I will look over the field mill plans & description in more detail. Thanks as always Frank.
I re-read the 'build-your-own' plans again & also some other links on 'field mills'. I found a commercial model with computer software for about $2000 US here:

I have in mind to experiment with my multimeter grounded & swinging a piece of wire on the other lead. Will the needle deflect? Shall I read for change in voltage?(not likely) Current? Resistance?
Racoon, I gave Frank's link & the only thing I suggest is that he is onto something different here. I intend to look into it...some more.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
