On another site, I read about the use of elevated "ungrounded" Rangemasters, and the poster noted that the range is significantly reduced when there is no ground lead compared to when a ground lead is connected. Actually, if the transmitter were truly "ungrounded" he would have obtained practically no range at all instead of the reduced range of "only a few blocks" that he describes. For the transmitter to function at all, there has to be some sort of return path for the dispacement current from the antenna to the circuit ground of the transmitter. In this case, the return path to circuit ground was probably through the transmitter power and audio input cables.
In the Liberty 1640 NOUO discussed previously in this thread, the FCC measured 73,800 uV at 30 meters from what was said to be a Rangemaster; but with the 20 foot ground lead disconnected, the field strength was reduced to 19,700 uV/m, which is still a very strong signal. This is a reduction of signal strength of about 11.5 dB, but some of the lost field strength might have been recovered if the transmiiter had been retuned after disconnecting the ground lead. So, there really isn't any "no ground" elevated installation unless extraordinary measures are taken.
