An interesting thing happened after I disconnected the NW EWE and hooked up the old vertical. Suddenly I noticed the directivity on the SW EWE changed back to where it used to be. For sometime I noticed the null on KGNW 820 Seattle to get Waldport has not been as tight. It was hard to get rid of the KGNW QRM. I disconnected the NW EWE and reconnected the old vertical and now Waltport is alone on 820, as I have a total null on 50 KW KGNW like I used to. Of course cx are not what they once were, but the DU DX has not been there either the last several years, but the directivity on the antennas have also changed. I have been wondering about the 5 ,000 ohms between the grounds too. If the antenna is disconnected totally it seems to have little effect on the active antennas. I now the great nulls & lobes I got when I only had the Eastern beverage and the SW EWE. But the addition of the NE & NW EWEs has affected things somewhat. The NW EWE I use very little except for Alaskans. I like having the four antennas as I can phase against each one, but now disconnecting the NW EWE, I do see a difference in nulls. I wonder if I should go back to 2 antennas again, the SW EWE and the Beverage? I have not disconnected the NE EWE as yet as I use that antenna. But there is interaction between the antennas.
