[DX-CHAT] EWE
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 Age and treachery will overcome youth and skill Outbound mail checked by Norton Anti-Virus 2003

Special RECEIVING antennas typically have REDUCED SIGNAL LEVELS but IMPROVED Singal-to-Noise Ratio. My Beverages are typically 10 dB down from my transmit antennas on Received Signal LEVEL but often / usually show Better S/N which allows better copy. EWE antennas are very small and have even lower signal LEVELS but sometimes do yield improved S/N. Tom N4KG

Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry about the EWE antenna. I have a lot of work to do. Most likely the first thing I need to do is to get outta town. 73 Mike, W5UC Age and treachery will overcome youth and skill Outbound mail checked by Norton Anti-Virus 2003 Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
