Barry, Yes, EWE's are very forgiving. Every one I have built works fine. I use trees for supports here for the most part. So where ever there is a branch, that is the height of the EWE. Separation of the vertical sections have never been an issue. They all work well. A lot of the artcles written on EWEs are aimed at the Ham Bands and to Ham operators. It may be different on the higher frequencies. I use mine from 150-1700 khz mainly, but they do work on the Tropical Bands too. But again, EWEs do require a good ground. But if you have a decent ground there, go for it! I am spoiled with my EWEs here. I may even build a third one in the future.
