Hi Pat,
I understand. If it isn't broke
don't fix it. Here in Florida with the generally poor soil conductivity the EWE
has never been a big performer for me.

Antenna
Thomas,
The salt water ground being so close to the
ocean seems to enhance the
reception here. I tried a K9AY and was not
impressed with it. The better
the grounding, the better the EWE works.
Living a mile from the ocean,
the salt air gets into everything. I have
used the EWE since 1981 and I
have never found anything I like
better. At least so far.
This antenna has brought me DX from 50 watt
Japanese Lighthouse
stations, 100 watt Aussies, Nepal, India, Bangladesh,
and Tibet. It has
been an amazing antenna for me. I may try a Pennant
in time, but I
would be surprised if anything would rival what I have
used.
By the way the EWE is a bit bigger than normal too. It is 20X100X20
or
there abouts.
73,
