I think what he means is that a 10cm should perform about the same with any system, in similar locations and similar height above ground, and may be the optimum length for all, depending on wire gauge/diameter. I'm using a 37cm probe, which will likely prove too large as our US network grows, and I will likely trim it back... that's the cool thing about a wire probe.... cheap, easy to shorten if need be. I'd say anything longer than 37cm is definitely going to be too much probe overall, but with a wire, you can cut some off if needed!
Are you saying that those of us building the Efield antenna should make the wire only 10 centimeters long?
That's a lot shorter than I'd heard initially, and need to carefully read the latest instructions if it is only 10 cm now.
