Since I put up the WNW EWE, Alaska has become as common as Hawaii for me. I wish I would have put in the WNW EWE before! The reason I never thought about it, was I fiqured how broad the pattern was with the EWE, the SW one I have had since 1981, got a lot of Northern Asians, so I thought, a NW one would not do me much good. Boy, was I wrong. Besides the increase in Northern Asians like Korea 1305, Alaskans are now common,. where they never used to be. I always heard them living so close, but except for KTKN 930 that I hear year around anyway at 750 miles, the others were not all that common. Some are getting like pests. hi. Plus I have logged a lot I have not heard before like KZPA-900-Ft. Yukon, KSKO-870-McGrath, and several call changes on others. KBRW 680 still eludes me for the ID. KNBR is just too strong to phase it out completely. So this Spring, I plan to raise the WNW EWE from 22 feet to 35 or so feet and hopefully it will capture more signal from the North/Northwest. But who knows, I may also get KNBR stronger too. hi.
