this is Matthew Boddicker

I have completed an experiment four months ago in which I used the Earth as 
a transmission line from one "Transmitter coil" to an identicle "Reciever 
coil". The experiement was a success, in as much that it is possible, but 
all that the "Reciever coil" was able to do was to get a flourescent light 
bulb to flicker. I have a twenty page paper on the research project that I 
have been rewriting. if anyone is interested in getting it from me I can get 
a copy to e-mail in two or three weeks. my e-mail is

shmerpleton_town@xxxxxxxxxxx

My best wishes to your research.
Matthew
