[DX-CHAT] EWE

[Mike(W5UC) & Kathy(K5MWH) Watson]

Good Morning All:

Has anyone in this group tried a EWE antenna for 80 and/or 160?  Recently I put up 3 of these antennas at different locations on my property, and so far none of them provided the desired results.  All are fed with 1:3   
torroid Xfrmrs.  None of the three antennas performed as well on receive as the transmitting antenna.  I live in town and, of course, have no room for a beverage(except the cold 807's in the frig).  So the questions are:

1)  If you are using a EWE what did you do to get  it to receive better than your XMIT antenna.

2) What are it's dimensions and what value termination resistor did you use?

3)  If you are not using this antenna, what do you use for low noise receive antenna on the two low bands?

Lot dimensions are approx 90 X 200. 
80 meter antenna is a Delta Loop.
160 meter antenna is a shunt fed 70 foot tower with a full size 30 meter yagi as a capacity hat.

Your comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & 73
Mike, W5UC
