Abstract :
A detailed description of techniques developed to control and measure the inhomogeneity of the electrical properties of agar-agar has been reported previously. Various physical problems occur when one attempts to reproduce on a larger scale tests which had been successful on the smaller scale. The actual application of these techniques to the construction of the medium on a large scale is presented, along with the measured results of the circuit and radiation properties of dipoles in such a medium
