It was mving allright. hi. Tonight one of cows was over grasing and
the EWE was bouncing around, but I checked it after they moved away and
everything was okey. But I need to get some heavy screening to help

I tuned around this morning and I noticed immediately my null on the SW
EWE was not there. I quick look at the termination from acros the fence,
it loked kind ok, but it did not seem right. I clicked on the signal
generator as my transmitter and grabbed the portable rebroadcasting the
R8 on 820.
Nick,
Tahiti 738 is quite decent tonight, nice Island mx. The gain down the
coast is better with the improved EWE. I hope there is an improvement
for DUs though. Time will tell.

I noticed the same thing as well, Patrick. Stronger than usual
Walt,
Tonga 1017 Tahiti-738 were both decent, but not what I had hoped. CX
did not get to where I thought it was going. However, the SW EWE is
better with signals to the South. So when the DU CX improve, the antenna
should do better.

Greetings,
I have been adjusting the length on the two legs of the NW EWE to get
them as close as I can to exactly the same height. Well, I got them at
23 feet, so the NW EWE is 23X60X23. I then went and checked the SW EWE
as it looked like the vertical section to the NE was taller. It was by

You possibly have very salty soil being that close to ocean.
Thus the copper will be eaten quickly.
Have you ever thought of adding radials to your ground rods, you know the

Yes, our soil is rather salty. No doubts there. Infact in the Winter
when we have standing water out in the field, I have tasted it. It is
briney, but not near as much as ocean water. But I have always felt I
have an under-toe to the ocean, being less than a mile from the shore.

This evening I went out an added another ground rod copper pipe to the
termination point on the SW EWE. But it sure was a toughie, going
through tree roots and the like. But I have two new ones in now. Better
grounding than I have had in years with the SW EWE. Hopefully my old

Greetings,
After adding a second good copper pipe ground rod at the termination
point of the SW EWE, I have found I have really increaded the nulls. The
first copper rod made an 80% change, but adding the second even helped
more. The old EWE is back where it was 15 years ago and it is quiet as a
start soon so I hope I can
get my ground back.

I don't know if I could hear one watt in July on 1720 off the beverage.
However, if it was Fall or Winter, maybe. I have several TIS stations

Don't need to go deep here. The soil is very wet, even damp in August.
In the Winter my ground system is 3-4 feet under water! Infact the
Winter before, the water level in the field next door was so high that

I just ran 150 feet of cord over to the SW EWE and soldered in the wire
from the new ground rods. I have not done anything with the one splice I
have 450 feet down on the beverage as yet. I only have the one splice to
check on.

Charles,
I don't know how hard your soil is, but here I am lucky as it is very
soft in most areas. That is unless there is a tree root in the way. I am
not all that thrilled about the 8 foot copperclad rods that are
available here. The 4 foot Radio Shack ones, the copper wears off in a
few months
