Walt, I talked to John about the Wellbrook loops at Grayland and looked at them. I really don't have any room to set one to the NE. The only antenna I have to the NE is the SW EWE and I have thought of the NE EWE, but the return coax will be sitting under 3-4 feet of water in the Winter. I have plenty of room in "certain" directions, but not always the direction I want. :-) The Wellbrook would also have to be pointed to the NE/SW correct, as would a EWE? So I am in the same boat. I could put a 700' beverage to the North again (maybe), with 150 feet of buried coax, but I have that neighbor to the West of me with the light dimmers, so that is another issue in running any antennas over towards that house. They have been threatening to move for years and are elderly, so maybe in time they will move. The previous person there had no noisy lights. I found no TA LW activity on any of the other antennas period! Just the Eastern beverage brought them in. If it wasn't was the noise level, many would have been excellent. They were S9 or better in many cases, but the buzzy noise level is an issue too. There seem to be an issue with the EWEs, vertical, etc on TA's. I get them but not as good as I wished. The EWEs are excellent on TPs though. I guess I am trying to have my DX Cake and eat it too. hi.
